Ingredients
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups (360ml) milk or dairy-free alternative (e.g., almond milk)
- ½ cup (about 60g) fresh raspberries
- ½ cup (50g) granola (choose a crunchy variety with nuts and seeds)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Measure and combine oats and milk in a medium saucepan. Add a pinch of salt.
- Cook the oats over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until thickened and creamy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in cinnamon and vanilla extract once oats are nearly done.
- Remove from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup if desired.
- If using, stir in chia seeds and let sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
- Spoon the warm oatmeal into a serving bowl.
- Top with fresh raspberries and granola.
- Optionally drizzle more honey or maple syrup and sprinkle extra cinnamon before serving.
Notes
Use rolled oats for creaminess and quicker cooking. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as preferred. For a creamier texture, pulse oats briefly in a blender before serving. To make overnight oats, refrigerate the oats and milk mixture overnight and warm gently before serving.
