Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats (not instant!)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Greek yogurt (optional)
- Shredded coconut (optional)
- Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked through and have reached your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the oats from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid and thicken the mixture.
- Pour the cooked oats into a bowl. Arrange the mixed berries and chopped nuts on top. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. You can also add a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut and cinnamon for added flavor.
- Dig in and savor the goodness. This high-fiber breakfast bowl is best enjoyed immediately, while the oats are still warm and the berries are fresh.
