Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients:
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, raspberries, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. - Cook the Oats:
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and creamy. - Adjust Consistency:
If the oats are too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency. - Serve:
Serve warm, topped with additional raspberries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts if desired.
Notes
- For a thicker consistency, reduce the cooking time slightly or use less liquid.
- Feel free to substitute maple syrup with honey or another sweetener of your choice.
- To make it vegan, stick with non-dairy milk and maple syrup as the sweetener.
