Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Water or Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Flax Seeds
  • 1/2 cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)

Cooking the Oatmeal

In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water (or milk). Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and have absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Adding the Seeds

Stir in the chia seeds and flax seeds. These seeds will add a significant boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids to your oatmeal.

Topping with Berries and Nuts

Transfer the cooked oatmeal to a bowl. Top with the mixed berries and chopped nuts. Feel free to use fresh or frozen berries depending on the season and your preference.

Sweetening (Optional)

Drizzle with honey or maple syrup to sweeten, if desired. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
