A quick and easy oatmeal bowl featuring creamy oats, fresh raspberries, crunchy granola, and a touch of honey or maple syrup, perfect for a cozy Valentine’s Day breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 cups water or milk (480ml) (almond or oat milk for dairy-free options)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (125g)
  • ½ cup granola (60g) (honey-almond granola recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (30ml)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats into a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups water or your choice of milk. Stir gently to combine.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low. Simmer uncovered for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until oats thicken and absorb the liquid.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (if using). Mix well.
  4. Adjust texture by adding a splash more milk or water if oats are too thick, or cook a minute less or more for thinner or creamier oats respectively.
  5. Optionally, stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds and ¼ cup yogurt. Let chia seeds soften for a couple of minutes off the heat.
  6. Rinse fresh raspberries and pat dry. Prepare granola and any garnishes like mint leaves.
  7. Spoon warm oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with 1 cup fresh raspberries and ½ cup granola. Drizzle with honey if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Warm milk before adding to avoid clumps. Toast granola lightly if stale. Frozen raspberries can be used after thawing and draining. Granola is best added fresh at serving time to keep crunch.
