Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup milk low-fat milk or whole milk, or plant-based milk such as almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine oats, water, milk, and maple syrup or honey. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer the oatmeal for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired thickness. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can cook it longer.
- Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute.
- Prepare your mixed fresh fruits. Wash, peel, and dice or slice them as necessary.
- Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl and top it with the chocolate chips so that the chocolate can melt.
- Top it with mixed fresh fruits.
- Optional: Drizzle honey or a little maple syrup on top if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- Sprinkle nuts or seeds on the oatmeal for added crunch and nutritional value.

Notes
- The nutrition information provided is an estimate and doesn't include the toppings. It will vary based on the specific ingredients used.
- I usually make my oatmeal with almond milk, but regular milk has a more creamy consistency.
- Any fruit can be used for topping - bananas and berries are my favorite. We've tried it with peaches in the summer, and it tastes delicious!
