Ingredients
Oatmeal Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Oatmeal: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats, reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the oats are creamy and tender.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the oatmeal cooks, rinse and slice the strawberries. Measure out the fresh blueberries and Greek yogurt.
- Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the cooked oatmeal into serving bowls. Arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries on top to create a red and blue color contrast. Add a generous dollop of Greek yogurt in the center for a creamy white accent.
- Optional Sweetening: Drizzle honey over the assembled oatmeal and fruit for added sweetness if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your nutritious red, white, and blueberry oatmeal warm for a delicious and patriotic breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute water with milk or a plant-based milk for creamier oatmeal.
- Adjust the amount of fruit toppings to your preference or seasonality.
- For a vegan option, replace Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- Adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or nuts can boost nutrition and texture.
