Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon flax meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds optional

Instructions

  • Add your oats to a small blender and blend them into a fine powder.
  • In a bowl that can hold about 6 cups, add your oats and 2 cups of water. Stir to combine and get rid of any clumps.
  • Microwave the oats one minute at a time, stirring each minute. They should look clumpy after minute one, then smoother after minute two, and very thick and smooth after minute three. If you want your oats thicker, keep repeating the process until you get your desired consistency.
  • After the oats are done cooking, add in the flax meal, salt, cinnamon, 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1/4 cup of water. Stir vigorously to combine. Let the oats sit to thicken while you do the next step.
  • Take the other 1/2 cup of blueberries and microwave them for 20-30 seconds until they are thawed and jammy (you can learn more about how/why this happens in the blog post!)
  • Top your oats with the jammy blueberries, peanut butter, pumpkin seeds and maple syrup. Add more cinnamon if you'd like and that's it!

Notes

If you aren't a fan of microwaves, you can definitely do this on the stovetop too! 
For the oats, set your stove to medium heat and let them simmer. Stir continuously until you get your desired thickness, then follow the rest of the recipe as written. 
For the blueberries, add the blueberries to a small saucepan with 1 tbsp of water. Heat them on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes or until they are thawed and jammy. Follow the rest of the recipe as-written!
