A nourishing lunch or breakfast, this creamy blueberry oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup and made extra delicious with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla is a perfect way to bring the yummiest goodness to your family in five minutes!

I mean, how else can you get a meal on the table in just a few minutes?  This is how easy it is…

Boil 3 cups of water and once it’s boiling add 2 cups of old-fashioned (rolled) oats.

Personally, I prefer the texture of old-fashioned oats vs. quick-cooking, but that is a personal preference.

Add 1/2 c. maple syrup or sugar,

1/2 tsp. cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg,

and 1/8 tsp. salt

to the oats and let it cook at least five minutes or until thickened.

Add one heaping cup of fresh or frozen blueberries.

If frozen, cook them a couple minutes to warm up.

Remove from the heat and add 1/2 tsp. vanilla.  Serve with a drizzle of heavy cream.
