Equipment
- Stove
Ingredients
- ½ cup Steel Cut Oats
- ½ cup Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ cup Almond Milk
- ½ teaspoon Almond Extract or vanilla extract
- 2 packets Stevia or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Cook blueberries with about ¼ cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat until most blueberries have popped. Add stevia to dissolve. Use a masher to lightly mash blueberries. ½ cup Blueberries 2 packets Stevia
- In a jar, combine blueberries, cinnamon, almond extract, steel-cut oats, chia seeds, and sweetener. ½ teaspoon Cinnamon ½ cup Steel Cut Oats 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds ½ teaspoon Almond Extract
- Stir well to fully combine.
- Add almond milk. Stir well to fully combine. ½ cup Almond Milk
- Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 3 days. Serve with toppings as desired. If you prefer warm oatmeal simply microwave the mixture for about a minute before enjoying.
Notes
- If you use frozen blueberries, skip the cooking part and stir them in frozen. They will release juices overnight and create a beautiful swirl.
- Want extra protein? Stir in a spoonful of Greek Yogurt or protein powder.
- Prefer a smoother texture? You can add a little extra almond milk before enjoying.
- Why I used Steel-cut Oats. They are less processed and create a heartier, chewier texture. They provide longer-lasting energy.
- Stir before serving - this will combine everything and evenly distribute the blueberries and chia seeds.
