Oatmeal porridge with berries and yogurt is a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that combines the creamy texture of yogurt with the freshness of berries and the hearty base of oatmeal. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk)
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions:
-
Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, milk (or non-dairy milk), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the mixture has thickened.
-
Add Berries: If using fresh berries, stir them in during the last minute of cooking to warm them through. If using frozen berries, you can add them during the last 3 minutes of cooking so they have time to thaw and become tender.
-
Sweeten (Optional): If you like your oatmeal a bit sweeter, stir in honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
-
Serve: Spoon the oatmeal porridge into bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a generous handful of additional fresh berries or any extra toppings you like, such as nuts, seeds, or granola.
-
Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy this wholesome and satisfying breakfast!
This recipe is versatile, so feel free to adjust the toppings based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences. You can also mix in some chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrition.
