Notes
Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not in season, no need to thaw, just add them straight to the oatmeal.
For extra creaminess, use whole milk or add a splash of cream or coconut milk at the end.
Sweeten to taste, maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, or a sugar-free alternative all work well.
Make it dairy-free by using almond milk, oat milk, or any plant-based milk.
For added nutrition, stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds while cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheat with a splash of milk.
Customize toppings with nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or nut butter for added flavor and texture.
