Equipment
- mixing bowl

- medium saucepan
- wooden spoon
- measuring cups
- cutting board
- airtight containers
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries
- 1/4 cup chopped raw nuts such as almonds or walnuts
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes. The oatmeal is ready when it has thickened to your desired consistency and the oats are tender.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal cool for 5 minutes. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
- Divide the oatmeal evenly among four airtight containers. Top each portion with 1/2 cup of mixed berries and 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts.
- Seal the containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To serve, reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until warm.
