Start your day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast by preparing multi-grain oatmeal with blueberries. This recipe combines the heartiness of multi-grain oats with the sweet burst of blueberries, offering a delightful and wholesome meal to fuel your morning.
Instructions:
- Pour 1 cup of milk into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently bring the milk to a simmer, but do not let it boil.
- Once the milk starts to simmer, add 1/2 cup of multi-grain oatmeal to the saucepan.
- Stir well to combine the oatmeal with the milk.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal cook.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
- After the oatmeal has cooked, add 1 cup of frozen blueberries.
- Stir the blueberries into the oatmeal, allowing them to thaw and release their juices, which will color and flavor the oatmeal.
- Continue to cook the oatmeal with the blueberries for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The blueberries will become warm, soft, and slightly incorporated into the oatmeal.
- Once the oatmeal and blueberries are thoroughly heated and mixed, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls.
- If desired, you can add extra toppings like a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of nuts or seeds, or a dash of cinnamon for added flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy your nutritious and delicious multi-grain oatmeal with blueberries!
Tips:
- For a creamier consistency, cook the oatmeal with milk instead of water.
- You can use fresh blueberries when they are in season for an extra fresh flavor.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the oatmeal.
- Top your oatmeal with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Prepare a larger batch of oatmeal and store in the fridge for a quick and easy reheat on busy mornings.
