Blueberry Oatmeal Bowl

Step 1

Pour 2 cups water into a medium saucepan and set the heat to high until the water boils — you'll see large bubbles rolling rapidly across the surface, about 4 minutes.

Step 2

Add 1 cup rolled oats and 0.25 teaspoon salt to the boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon until the oats are fully submerged and mixed evenly.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and stir the oatmeal once every 30 seconds for 3 minutes until it thickens — the mixture should look creamy and hold its shape slightly when you push it with the spoon.

Step 4

Pour in 0.5 cup milk and stir gently until the milk is fully mixed in and the oatmeal looks smooth and pourable, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Divide the warm oatmeal between two bowls, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Top each bowl with 0.75 cup fresh blueberries, scattering them evenly across the surface.

Step 7

Drizzle 1.5 tablespoons honey over the blueberries in each bowl in a thin stream across the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle 0.25 cup roughly chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans) over each bowl for crunch.
