Equipment

  • - Small saucepan
  • - Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions

1.

Cook the Oats*
  • In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water (or almond milk) to a boil over medium heat.
  • Add the rolled oats, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.

2.

Add Spinach and Flavorings*
  • Stir in the chopped spinach, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and mixes into the oats.

3.

Assemble the Bowl*
  • Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl. Top with mixed berries, chia seeds, and chopped nuts (if using).
  • Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
