Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 cup water
• 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons extra fresh blueberries (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir to mix well.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the oats from sticking, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 4

Stir in the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, gently folding the blueberries into the oatmeal.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute to fully absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls and top with chopped almonds or walnuts (if desired) and extra fresh blueberries for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal warm as a nourishing, tangy-sweet breakfast!
