Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups water or milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional for flavor)

Sliced almonds or walnuts for topping (optional)

Extra raspberries for garnish

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water (or milk), salt, and cinnamon (if using). Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract.

Cook the oats for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they reach your desired creaminess. If using chia seeds, stir them in after about 2 minutes of cooking.

Gently fold in the raspberries, allowing some to break down into the oatmeal and others to remain whole for texture.

Cook for an additional minute to heat the raspberries through.

Remove from heat, and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken up a bit more.

Serve the oatmeal hot in bowls, topping with sliced almonds or walnuts, extra raspberries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
