A cozy and creamy oatmeal bowl made with rolled oats simmered in almond milk, topped with fresh blueberries and toasted almonds. Perfect for a warm, comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (480ml)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (150g)
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds (30g), roughly chopped or whole
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup (15-30ml), optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the almonds: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and toss frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Combine oats and almond milk: In a medium saucepan, pour 2 cups (480ml) almond milk and add 1 cup (90g) rolled oats. Add a pinch of sea salt and 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract.
  3. Simmer gently: Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium heat, then reduce to low. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until creamy and most liquid is absorbed.
  4. Add sweetness: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup if using. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  5. Fold in blueberries: Reserve a few for garnish, then gently stir the rest into the oats. Allow them to warm for 1-2 minutes without bursting.
  6. Serve: Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl. Top with toasted almonds and remaining fresh blueberries.
  7. Optional extras: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor and creaminess.

Notes

Toast almonds on medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Use rolled oats for best creamy texture; avoid instant oats. Add blueberries at the end to keep their flavor and texture. Adjust sweetness last to control sugar level. If oats thicken too much, add a splash of almond milk while cooking.
