Instructions
Cooking Wild Blueberry Banana Oatmeal
- To a medium saucepan, add oats and hot water or milk. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Then promptly reduce to medium-low for 5-6 minutes, until oatmeal is thick, creamy and fully cooked.
- While the oats are heating up, add frozen wild blueberries and banana. Mix to combine.
- When the oats are just about fully cooked, stir in maple syrup and salt to taste. They should balance each other.
Finishing Touches
- Pour about half of the cooked oats into a cereal bowl. Add fresh blueberries, banana, almonds, and finish with a quick zest of a lemon.
