Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
3/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Toppings (optional)

2 tablespoons pistachios
2 teaspoons hemp hearts
1/4 banana sliced

Instructions

Add the oats, soy milk, water, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt to a small saucepan over low to medium heat.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently with a spoon for about 5-7 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and oatmeal is thick.
Remove from heat and stir in your blueberries.
Serve with desired toppings and a splash of milk. I added sliced banana, pistachios, extra blueberries, and hemp hearts.

Notes

Topping suggestions: chopped nuts (pistachios or walnuts are my fave), almond butter, coconut flakes, hemp hearts, or sliced banana.
Make Ahead: Allow cooked oatmeal to cool then add to an airtight container. Can store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat: To reheat leftover or prepped oatmeal, add a splash of milk and microwave for a minute or two OR add to saucepan and warm up over low heat.
