Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal
  • 1 cup rolled oats quick oats will work in a pinch, but old-fashioned is preferred
  • 2 cups milk (or almond/soy/oat) any milk alternative can be used
  • 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries if frozen, don't thaw, just add them in
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon adjust according to taste
  • 1 pinch salt helps enhance flavor
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (walnuts/pecans/almonds) variety can be adjusted based on preference
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey optional sweetener
  • to taste extra blueberries and nuts for topping

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Toss oats, milk, salt and cinnamon in a pot. Crank heat to medium.
  2. When it starts bubbling (takes around 2 minutes, don't wander off), stir so nothing sticks.
  3. After about 4 more minutes, dump in the blueberries and half your nuts.
  4. Stir and cook another 1-2 minutes, until the berries leak a little blue magic and oats look creamy.
  5. Take off the heat. Top with more nuts, a shower of blueberries, and a swirl of maple syrup, if desired.
  6. Eat hot right away or let it sit a minute to thicken up.

Notes

Mix and match toppings to find your favorite combinations. Cold leftovers are still delicious.
