Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1.5 cups water
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons carob powder
• 0.5 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrients)
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and almond milk. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the carob powder, blueberries, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, chia seeds (if using), and salt.

Step 4

Cook the oatmeal for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are fully cooked and the mixture reaches your desired thickness. If the oatmeal becomes too thick, you can add a splash of milk or water to loosen it.

Step 5
