Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1/4 cup nuts
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, mixed berries, and nuts. Ensure your workspace is clean and organized for an efficient cooking process.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rolled oats and 2 cups of almond milk. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Continue to stir occasionally until the oats are cooked through and have absorbed most of the almond milk, achieving a creamy consistency.
- While the oats are cooking, prepare your toppings. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well until fully combined.
- Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the chia seed mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the oats.
- Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each bowl with 1/2 cup of mixed berries and 1/4 cup of nuts, distributing them evenly between the servings.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle a little extra honey over the top, if desired. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your nutritious immune support breakfast cereal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the dry ingredients the night before. Just combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon in a bowl, and store it in an airtight container.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Swap out the mixed berries for your favorite fruits, or try adding a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cereal, adjust the amount of honey to your liking. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar as alternatives.
- Make it Vegan: For a vegan version, simply replace honey with a plant-based sweetener and ensure your almond milk is unsweetened.
- Add Protein: Boost the protein content by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the oatmeal while it simmers, or sprinkle some hemp seeds on top before serving.
- Store Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in the refrigerator and reheat with a splash of almond milk to restore creaminess.Enjoy crafting your immune-boosting breakfast cereal and savor every nourishing bite!
