Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Once the oats start to thicken, after about 5 minutes, add the almond milk, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Continue to cook the oatmeal for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are fully cooked and creamy, with most of the liquid absorbed.
Step 4
Stir in the maple syrup and half of the blueberries, mashing some of the berries to release their juices and mix into the oatmeal.
Step 5
Once the oatmeal has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat and let it sit for a minute or two to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Divide the oatmeal between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the remaining fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts for added crunch and heart-healthy fats.
Step 7
Serve immediately, and enjoy a warm, comforting, and nutritious breakfast that's perfect for heart health!
