Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 sliced banana
- 2 tablespoons walnuts
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Step 3
Stir in the ground cinnamon and chia seeds. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to allow the chia seeds to thicken the oatmeal slightly.
Step 4
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Step 5
Top each bowl with fresh blueberries, sliced banana, and chopped walnuts.
Step 6
If desired, drizzle each bowl with a small amount of honey for added sweetness (optional).
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
