Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons high-quality white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
- Optional: A drizzle of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness
Instructions
- Step 1: Simmer the Base In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk of your choice, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a steady simmer.
- Step 2: Cook the Oats Cook the oats for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the oats to absorb most of the liquid and become creamy. If you prefer thinner oatmeal, you can add an extra splash of milk during this stage.
- Step 3: Add the Berries and Vanilla Stir in the vanilla extract and half of the raspberries. Use your spoon to gently press down on a few of the berries so they release their juices, turning the oatmeal a beautiful pink hue. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the berries are warmed through.
- Step 4: Incorporate White Chocolate Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in half of the white chocolate chips. The residual heat will melt them into the oats, creating a rich and velvety texture throughout the entire bowl.
- Step 5: Final Touches Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top with the remaining fresh raspberries and the rest of the white chocolate chips. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
