Notes

  • Variations
    • Flax blueberry oatmeal: Add 1 teaspoon of ground flax seeds to the oatmeal before cooking. Cook as directed. Chia seeds can also be added.
    • Blueberry Cheesecake oatmeal: Add a spoonful of cream cheese (dairy or dairy free) to the oatmeal after cooking. This makes it so creamy and a lot like a cheesecake!
    • Nut or Seed Butter: Add a spoonful of a nut or seed butter like almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter.
    • Fruity Oatmeal: Add a mashed banana or lemon zest or orange zest as a quick way to get some different flavors.
