Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups water or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup mixed berries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp low-sugar granola
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional
  • 1 tbsp chopped nuts
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup chopped spinach
  • 2 tbsp diced onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 oz feta cheese optional

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the old-fashioned oats, water or almond milk, and cinnamon. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the chia seeds. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
  3. While the oats are cooking, prepare the yogurt parfait. In a bowl, layer the Greek yogurt, mixed berries, and low-sugar granola. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  4. For the savory option, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, bell peppers, and spinach, sautéing until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Serve the oatmeal in bowls topped with a dollop of almond butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or enjoy the savory veggie scramble with a side of feta cheese.
