Almond Butter Oatmeal with Blueberries
developed & tested by:
For rushed mornings, I make this quick and easy almond butter oatmeal with fresh or frozen blueberries and quick-cooking oats. It's creamy, salty-sweet bowl, filling, and ready in just 5 minutes!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- boiling water (enough to cover the oats)
- ½ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup sliced almonds (or other chopped nuts)
- 2 Tablespoons almond butter
- 3 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- If you're using frozen blueberries, place them in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on 30 second internals until they are thawed and warm. Set aside.
- Place the oats, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour boiling water on the oats, just enough to bring the water line to the top of the oats. Let sit for 1 minute.
- Top with blueberries, sliced almonds, almond butter and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Enjoy!!
Notes
- Storing: Hot oatmeal is best eaten right away. You can save it in the fridge for a day or two, and reheat it in the microwave.
- Optional Mix-In's: Once my oats become creamy, I like to stir in protein powder, chia seeds, jam, mashed banana, or apple sauce.
- Optional Toppings: And for added crunch, I like to sprinkle granola, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts on top before digging in.
