I present to you the best ever blueberry muffin stovetop oatmeal that quite literally tastes like a hug in a bowl. This recipe utilizes simple and sustainable ingredients that can be found right in your pantry or at your local market. For the ingredients and method, scroll down.
Ingredients:
*½ cup oatmeal (I used instant oatmeal but you can use rolled oats or oat flour)
*1 tbsp chia seeds
*Dash of cinnamon
*Pinch of salt
*1 tsp vanilla extract
* ⅓ cup blueberries (I used frozen)
*1 cup liquid (I used a mixture of almond milk and water; you can use oat milk, soy milk…)
*1 tbsp sweetener (you can use honey, maple syrup, agave, monk fruit…)
*Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (if you use this, you may not need to add a sweetener as protein powder adds sweetener or vanilla extract as the protein would add a vanilla flavor already)
Toppings:
*Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, hazelnut butter, sunflower seed butter, tahini, etc)
*Greek Yogurt
*Nuts & seeds
*More berries or sliced fruits
Method:
Place oatmeal, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract and your choice of liquid and sweetener into a stovetop safe pot. Bring the stove to low-medium heat and slowly stir.
Optional step: once the oatmeal has absorbed most of the liquid, add a scoop of protein along with a dash of milk and stir until combined/ creamy consistency.
Then add the frozen blueberries into the oatmeal mixture and stir until combined.
Serve in a bowl with toppings such as nut butter, fruits and yogurt.
Enjoy!
