Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• 0 optional toppings (e.g., nuts, coconut flakes, more berries)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 2

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture simmers. Reduce the heat and let it cook until creamy and thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the oatmeal cooks, prepare the berry swirl. In a small saucepan, add the mixed berries and honey.

Step 4

Cook the berry mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Once the berries are soft, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Let the berry compote cool slightly to thicken.

Step 6

Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls. Spoon the berry compote onto the oatmeal and use a spoon or knife to gently swirl it into the oatmeal for a marbled effect.

Step 7

Top with optional toppings such as nuts, coconut flakes, or more fresh berries if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy!
