15-Minute Blueberry Flax Oatmeal
Warm, comforting, yet full of summer goodness. This bowl of oatmeal is filled with omega-3's from ground flax seeds. Top it with sunflower seed butter (a must!) plus more blueberries for a filling, yet healthy breakfast. Enjoy it all year long by using frozen blueberries or use fresh ones during summer!
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 large banana (or 2 small), mashed
- 1/2 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds, ground
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Suggested Toppings
- Sunflower seed butter
- Nuts and seeds
- More blueberries
- Dried fruits
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the oats, milk, flax seeds and chia seeds to a low boil over high heat.
- Reduce to medium heat and stir in the blueberries and vanilla. Let simmer for 5 minutes or until the oats have absorbed the liquid and reaches your desired thickness. Stir in the mashed banana in the last minute of cooking.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings.
Notes
If using fresh blueberries, add more milk as needed (the frozen blueberries add more liquid because of the ice).
