Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup rolled oats (not the quick-cooking kind)
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup whole milk (2% milk and almond milk also work + a few extra tablespoons for serving)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 cup + 1/4 cup fresh blueberries (about 5 ounces total)
Pinch salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
More optional toppings: additional maple syrup and almonds or pepitas

Steps:

Add oats, water, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and 1 cup blueberries to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until the oats have thickened and most of the berries have burst, turning the oatmeal purple, about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Scoop into bowls and divide remaining berries between the two. Drizzle with milk. Add optional toppings if desired. Serve.
