- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Sweeteners and Flavors:
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, mix rolled oats, milk, raspberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to create a harmonious breakfast blend.
- Heat the mixture over medium temperature, bringing it to a gentle bubbling point while stirring periodically.
- Reduce heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, watching carefully as oats transform into a creamy, luscious texture.
- Assess the oatmeal’s thickness, gradually introducing additional milk if the consistency appears too dense or sticky.
- Transfer the warm oatmeal to serving bowls, garnishing with fresh raspberries, a delicate honey drizzle, or a sprinkle of crunchy nuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Swap milk with alternative plant-based options like almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free and vegan variations.
- Toast chia seeds beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and improve nutrient absorption.
- Frozen raspberries work perfectly when fresh berries aren’t available, maintaining the same delicious taste and nutritional benefits.
- Experiment with different sweeteners like agave nectar, stevia, or brown sugar to customize the flavor profile and suit dietary preferences.
