Berry Oat Bowl

How to Make It

Follow these simple steps — total time is about 15 minutes.

1

Heat the Milk

Pour 2 cups of milk (or almond milk) into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer — you'll see small bubbles forming around the edges. Don't let it reach a full boil.
2

Cook the Oats

Add 1 cup of rolled oats, a pinch of salt, and ½ tsp cinnamon to the hot milk. Stir well, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are thick and creamy.

Cook for 5 minutes
3

Add Flavour

Once cooked, stir in ½ tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp chia seeds. Mix well so everything is evenly combined, then turn off the heat.
4

Prep the Berries

Rinse 1 cup of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries). Slice strawberries in half. Use them fresh, or give them a quick 60-second warm in a pan for a jammy, sauce-like texture.

Optional warm: 1 minute
5

Assemble the Bowl

Spoon the creamy oats into bowls. Add a generous dollop of Greek yogurt, pile on the berries, and finish with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
6

Serve & Enjoy!

Serve immediately while warm. For an overnight cold version, skip cooking — just soak oats in milk overnight in the fridge and add toppings fresh in the morning.

Little tricks to make this recipe even better.

Frozen Berries Work! Just thaw them or warm in a pan with a tiny splash of water — they become extra juicy.

Make it Vegan Use plant-based milk + maple syrup. Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt.

Meal Prep It Cook a big batch and refrigerate up to 4 days. Add toppings fresh each morning.

Add Crunch Sprinkle granola, chopped walnuts, or pumpkin seeds for extra texture and nutrients.
