Berry Vegan Oatmeal
A quick and easy recipe for the perfect oatmeal topped with healthy berries, nuts, and seeds to power you through your day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup instant oats
- 2 cup boiling water (can sub warm soy milk)
- 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
- 3 dates-chopped
- 1/2 tbsp flax seed
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp hemp hearts
- 1/4 cup berries-raspberries and blackberries
- 2 tbsp pecans-chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries or blueberries
Instructions
- Heat the water in a saucepan or electric kettle until boiling.
- Meanwhile, chop the dates and pecans. Wash the berries.
- Once the water is boiling, pour it over the instant oats. Mix well and let sit for a couple of minutes. Add the chia seeds, flax seeds, salt, and hemp hearts. Mix well. Add more water if necessary.
- Portion out two bowls and split the oats between the two. Top with drizzled honey, pecans, dates, dried cranberries, and fresh berries. Serve warm.
- Substitute any other toppings you want. We recommend fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, dried coconut, brown sugar, a little warm milk, granola, or anything else you prefer.
- Feel free to swap out the quick oats for steel-cut or rolled oats. Just follow the package directions to prepare them. You can also use plant-based milk in place of the water for a richer creamier taste.
