Blueberry Pie Oatmeal
Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast ideas for both myself and my kids. It’s fast, it’s healthy (assuming you don’t add too much sugar), and it’s yummy. I like to try to mix in fruit sometimes to change it up and add in some extra nutrition, but I don’t want to turn it into a huge breakfast project because nobody has time for that! That’s why I love this microwave Blueberry Pie Oatmeal recipe. It’s super easy (you can make it in the microwave!), it’s healthy, and it’s always a hit at our house.
Blueberry Pie Oatmeal is loaded with fresh blueberries, and a hint of cinnamon and brown sugar. You can also sub the fresh berries for frozen. We’ll usually go blueberry picking in the Summer, and then I’ll freeze most of our spoils to use during the rest of the year.
To make this Blueberry Pie Oatmeal, you’ll need a large bowl, milk, oats, blueberries, a bit of salt, brown sugar, butter, lemon juice, and cinnamon. You’ll start off just how you normally make oatmeal, by adding the oats, milk, and salt to a large microwave-safe bowl. Give it a little stir and pop it in the microwave. Microwave your oatmeal for 3 minutes at a time, stirring after each time, until the oats are soft and cooked through. If you’re using frozen blueberries, add them in before microwaving so they’ll thaw and soften better. This may turn your oatmeal kind of purple, but all the better in my book!
When your oatmeal is cooked, it’s time to add in all the yumminess. Add blueberries, brown sugar, butter, lemon juice, and cinnamon, and stir to combine. This blueberry pie oatmeal recipe makes 4 servings, so spoon the oatmeal into separate bowls for serving. If you’d like to add a little crunch, sprinkle some chopped almonds on top. Enjoy!
