This oatmeal recipe blends heart-healthy oats with the omega-3 benefits of flax seeds. Finished with vibrant, antioxidant-rich berries, it is a balanced breakfast that takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.
Bring the water or almond milk to a gentle boil in a medium pot.
Stir in the oats and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy.
Remove from heat. Fold in the ground flaxseed and cinnamon.
Divide into four bowls. Top with fresh berries, walnuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
For a deeper, toastier flavor, lightly dry-roast your oats in the pot for two minutes before adding the liquid. It transforms the aroma of your breakfast completely.
