Oatmeal with Blueberry Compote and Almonds
Oatmeal is a breakfast staple, but it can get boring, it can feel too routine. It's all about the toppings, that's how you transform something simple and nourishing to something that's also wildly delicious. This Oatmeal with Blueberry Compote and Almonds is exactly that, a simple transformation of something bland to something complex in flavor and texture.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 1/2 cup water or mylk substitute
  • 2 1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup plus more to taste
Instructions
  1. Combine oats and 2 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and cook according to package directions.

  2. In a small saucepan, add 2 cups of blueberries, maple syrup, and 1/4 cup water and bring to a steady simmer over medium low heat. Stirring occasionally to burst open the blueberries and prevent any sticking to the bottom, allow blueberries to cook down for 10-15 minutes, or until thick and sticky mixture forms.

  3. Once oatmeal is cooked and blueberries form a sticky compote, portion into bowls and top with almonds, blueberry compote, remaining blueberries, and additional maple syrup to taste. Enjoy warm.

  4. note: if prepping, reheat with an additional splash of mylk or water to maintain a creamy texture
