This Raspberry Oatmeal recipe offers a delightful and nutritious breakfast for two. To begin, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of milk (either dairy or plant-based) in a medium saucepan. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the oats are tender and the mixture thickens.
Sweeten the oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of date paste, adjusting to your preferred sweetness. Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh raspberries, reserving some for garnish. The warmth of the oatmeal will soften the raspberries, infusing the dish with a burst of fruity flavor.
For the finishing touch, divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls. Top each bowl with additional fresh raspberries, providing a burst of color and freshness. Enhance the texture and nutritional profile with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds and chia seeds. These add a delightful crunch and a boost of healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Drizzle a touch of extra date paste or honey on top if you desire a sweeter flavor. This customizable recipe allows you to tailor the sweetness and toppings to your liking. Whether you’re seeking a wholesome breakfast or a quick and nutritious meal, this Raspberry Oatmeal is a satisfying choice. Serve it warm, savor the blend of flavors, and kickstart your day with a nutritious and delicious dish.
