Description:
Oatmeal is the quintessential healthy breakfast option, and it’s easy to see why. Packed with fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, it keeps you feeling full for hours. Adding fresh berries not only enhances the flavor but also provides a boost of antioxidants. This quick and simple recipe is customizable—feel free to experiment with toppings like nuts, seeds, or dried fruits!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or water for a lighter version)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the milk or water to a boil over medium heat.
- Stir in the oats and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the consistency is creamy.
- Pour the oatmeal into bowls and top with the mixed berries.
- Drizzle with honey for added sweetness if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter for extra protein.
- Add a sprinkle of chia seeds or flax seeds for a fiber boost.
Tips:
- You can prepare the oatmeal in advance by cooking a large batch and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk.
