Print Recipe

A quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe featuring creamy rolled oats cooked with milk or water, topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey for natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 2 cups (475ml) water or milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh fruit (blueberries, sliced strawberries, diced apples, or a combo)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey (raw or local)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (walnuts, almonds, chia seeds) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup (90g) of rolled oats and 2 cups (475ml) of water or milk into a medium-sized saucepan.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and, if using, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low and let the oats simmer, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until creamy and tender but still slightly chewy.
  5. If the oats thicken too much, add a splash of warm milk or water to loosen the consistency.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (30ml) of honey.
  7. Fold in 1 cup (150g) of fresh fruit.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top for added texture and nutrition.
  9. Serve immediately while warm. For prepping ahead, add fruit and honey just before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; stirring often prevents sticking and clumps. Add honey after cooking to preserve its natural enzymes and flavor. For creamier oats, use milk instead of water. Adjust fruit and nuts based on season and preference. Store leftovers in airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days; add fresh fruit and honey before serving.
