Ingredients

- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

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:

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.
