Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups rice milk
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and rice milk over medium heat, stirring gently to ensure even mixing.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing heat to low and continuing to stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
- Cook the oats for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring consistently until the oats reach a creamy and smooth consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal rest for 1-2 minutes to allow further thickening.
- Add vanilla extract and honey (or maple syrup) to the oatmeal, stirring thoroughly to incorporate the sweetener and flavor.
- Transfer the prepared oatmeal into serving bowls, creating an even distribution.
- Top the oatmeal with fresh mixed berries, arranging them beautifully across the surface.
- Optional: Garnish with additional drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm, ensuring the oatmeal maintains its creamy texture and the berries are fresh.
Tips
- Choose Your Berries: Feel free to mix and match your favorite berries! Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries all work beautifully and provide a variety of flavors and nutrients.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, add more honey or maple syrup to taste. Alternatively, for a healthier option, consider using ripe bananas or applesauce as natural sweeteners.
- Make It Creamy: For an extra creamy texture, you can substitute half of the rice milk with a dollop of nut butter, such as almond or peanut butter, which also adds healthy fats.
- Batch Cooking: If you're short on time during the week, prepare a larger batch of the oats and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat with a splash of rice milk for a quick breakfast option!
- Add Crunch: For some added texture, top your oats with a sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts. This will give your dish a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy oats and juicy berries.
- Experiment with Spices: Don't be afraid to get creative! A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the flavor profile of your oats, giving them a warm and inviting taste.
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve your Berries Oats warm. The combination of hot oats and fresh, cool berries creates a delightful contrast that enhances the overall flavor.
