Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
- 2 cups (480ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based, unsweetened recommended)
- 2 tablespoons nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew; natural, no-sugar-added)
- 1 cup (150g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: toasted nuts, chia seeds, sliced banana, cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine oats, milk, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir frequently and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 7-10 minutes until oats are tender and porridge is creamy but spoonable.
- Stir in vanilla extract and mixed berries. Cook for another 2 minutes until berries soften slightly.
- Remove from heat and swirl in nut butter until melted and creamy. Warm nut butter briefly if too thick.
- Sweeten with maple syrup or honey if desired. Stir well and serve with optional toppings.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and achieve creaminess. Add nut butter off heat to preserve silky texture. Adjust liquid as needed depending on milk and oats brand. Sweetener is optional as berries add natural sweetness. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; add milk when reheating to loosen.
