Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 cup Mixed Berries (Fresh or Frozen)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar
  • 1 tablespoon Optional: Chopped Nuts (Almonds, Walnuts)
  • 1 tablespoon Optional: Coconut Flakes

Preparing the Oatmeal

In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and plant-based milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Cooking the Oatmeal

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. Stir in the chia seeds during the last minute of cooking.

Adding the Berries

While the oatmeal is cooking, prepare your mixed berries. If using frozen berries, you can add them directly to the oatmeal during the last few minutes of cooking to warm them through. If using fresh berries, you can add them after the oatmeal is cooked.

Sweetening and Topping

Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in maple syrup or agave nectar to your desired sweetness. Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and top with mixed berries, chopped nuts, and coconut flakes, if desired.

FAQ

  • Can I use quick-cooking oats instead of rolled oats?
