Equipment

medium saucepan
mixing spoon
measuring cups and spoons
serving bowls

Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 cup blueberries
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
1 banana, sliced (optional)
2 tbsp chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)

Instructions

Add the oats, milk, water, cinnamon, and salt into a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat while stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat slightly and continue cooking until the oatmeal becomes creamy and thick.
Add the blueberries during the last few minutes of cooking so they stay juicy and flavorful.
For extra sweetness, stir in maple syrup, honey, mashed banana, or vanilla extract if desired.
Remove the oatmeal from the heat and let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
Top with banana slices, walnuts, almonds, yogurt, or extra blueberries before serving warm.

Notes

Fresh or frozen blueberries both work beautifully in this recipe. Add the blueberries near the end of cooking for the best texture and flavor. For creamier oatmeal, use milk instead of water or combine both. Top with banana slices, walnuts, chia seeds, yogurt, or maple syrup for extra flavor and nutrition.
