📖 Recipe

I am legitimately addicted to oatmeal. It's so versatile, seriously, you can have sweet oatmeal or savory oatmeal. I want to eat it every day. And really, one could eat it every day because oatmeal is incredibly healthy (or, well, typically), it's filling and full of protein without even trying.

When my mental spoons are low, oatmeal is always there to save the day.

I also have a delicious apple cinnamon oatmeal if you're looking for something a little different, or if you want something cold with blueberries, check out my yummy blueberry granola!

🥘Ingredients

All Ingredients: Oats, frozen blueberries, oat milk, maple syrup, salt.

You can use fresh blueberries.

You can use any sweetener you prefer.

Any plant-based milk can be used for this oatmeal. I'm using oat, you can use almond, soy, coconut, etc. There's tons of options.

Please see recipe card below for exact measurements.

🔪Instructions

Add the oatmeal and plant-milk to a pan or pot, bring to a small boil, turn the heat down to medium-low, add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.

👩🏻‍🍳Cook's Tips
Make sure you cook on medium to low heat. You risk burning the oatmeal at higher temps.
If you want finer oatmeal, get a smaller oat size or blend your oats a bit before adding to the hot liquid. This will give you a porridge-like feel to your morning oats!

🍱Storage

This oatmeal stores perfectly in the refrigerator for up to 4 days! Be sure to store in an airtight container. No need to separate ingredients.

This oatmeal can be frozen and thawed and eaten as normal.

📖Substitutions & Variations

Of course you can do just about anything with oatmeal, but specifically for this blueberry oatmeal, there are many ways you can change this up and make it yours.

While I've added hemp seeds to mine, you can add:

Pumpkin seeds
vanilla extract
peanut butter or almond butter

any of those additions would be perfect in this oatmeal.

What fruits go well with oats?

Nearly any fruit you can think of! Banana's, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, apples, peaches, pears, pineapple, etc. You can use pretty much any fruit in cahoots with oatmeal.

Is frozen or fresh fruit better?

Make sure you go for frozen fruits every time for some super sweet fruit that doesn't need added extra sugar. The water content will help break down the fruit more and leave you with even sweeter berries!

Is blueberry oatmeal healthy?

For the most part, yes! But it can totally depend on what you add to it. For instance, too much sugar can suddenly turn a healthy breakfast into a dessert!
