This Purple Blueberry Oatmeal is one of the easiest, healthiest, and prettiest vegan breakfast recipes out there that both adults and kids will love! Bonus: It’s ready in under 5 minutes.
This is what my two boys see in front of them almost every morning lately! Except, the banana doesn’t always look this organized. 🙂
A healthy, delicious and fun breakfast recipe doesn’t need to be time consuming or complicated! This recipe for Purple Blueberry Oatmeal is the perfect example.
Why the Recipe Works:
- Using minimal and easy-to-find ingredients, this breakfast recipe couldn’t be any easier to make.
- Using frozen blueberries, this recipe can be made any time of the year.
- Both adults and kids will love this oatmeal. This is actually what my twin boys eat for breakfast most days! They especially love the beautiful purple color.
What makes this breakfast so healthy?
- Oatmeal is packed with fiber, the berries are packed with nutrients, and flaxseeds are one of the healthiest foods you can eat! This meal is so satisfying and will definitely keep you full until lunchtime.
How to Make Purple Blueberry Oatmeal:
1. In a microwave safe bowl, add the oatmeal or oat bran, cinnamon, salt and water.
2. Microwave on high for about one minute and forty seconds, but watch the last few moments to make sure it doesn’t overflow! Alternatively, you can cook your oats via stove top according to the package directions.
3. Afterwards, add the ground flaxseed, frozen wild blueberries, and splash of nondairy milk and stir well to combine.
4. Add sweetener, if you so desire! My boys prefer good ol’ maple syrup.
Enjoy!
Top Tips for Making Purple Blueberry Oatmeal:
- When it comes to sweeteners, my favorites are maple syrup, monk fruit, or coconut sugar!
