Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- Honey or maple syrup to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and almond milk over medium heat. Stir gently to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure smooth consistency. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until oats become soft and creamy.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the oatmeal.
- Transfer the cooked oatmeal into two serving bowls, using a ladle or large spoon to distribute equally.
- Top each bowl with fresh blueberries, spreading them evenly across the surface of the oatmeal.
- Drizzle one-half tablespoon of almond butter over each serving, allowing it to slightly melt into the warm oatmeal.
- Optional: Add honey or maple syrup to taste, drizzling lightly over the top for additional sweetness.
- Serve immediately while the oatmeal is warm, allowing the blueberries and almond butter to create a delightful flavor combination.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality rolled oats and pure almond milk to enhance the flavor and creaminess of your oatmeal.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on your personal preference for sweetness. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add nuts, seeds, or other fruits like bananas or strawberries for added texture and flavor.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare the oatmeal in advance and store it in the fridge. Reheat it in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast.
- Stir for Creaminess: Stirring the oats occasionally while cooking helps achieve that perfect creamy consistency, so don’t skip this step!
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your oatmeal immediately while it’s warm for the best flavor and texture. The almond butter will melt beautifully into the oats, creating a heavenly mix!
