Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.75 cup Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the oat bran, milk, water, and salt. Stir well to ensure the oat bran doesn’t clump.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Cook the oat bran for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup.
Step 5
Gently fold in the blueberries, allowing them to heat through for 1-2 minutes. This will slightly soften the blueberries without breaking them entirely.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture rest for a minute. If the oat bran thickens too much, add a splash of milk or water to loosen it to your preferred consistency.
Step 7
Divide the oat bran mixture into two serving bowls.
Step 8
Top with additional fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
