This oatmeal bowl is made in 5 minutes using old-fashioned rolled oats (no instant packs here!) and a pop in the microwave. The warming flavor of added cinnamon topped with juicy berries is everything you want first thing in the morning!

Ingredients
½cupsOld Fashioned Rolled Oats
¾cupwater, add an extra 1/4 cup if your prefer extra soft oats
Mix together the oats, water, cinnamon and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Add chia seeds and flaxseed if desired. You can also mix in a Tablespoon of nut butter, brown sugar and honey here as well if desired.
Microwave oats for 1 minute. Pour frozen berries on top. Then place in the microwave for an additional 15 seconds. You don't want the berries hot, just thawed enough that they start to create a sauce on top of the oats.
Top with your favorite toppings. I love to add almond butter, fresh berries, sliced bananas and sliced almonds. Then I like to drizzle honey across the top.
Notes
Note: This recipe is easy to double, I just prefer to mix the correct amounts right into the bowl.
