Triple Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl

February 8, 2016

Triple Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl topped with vanilla yogurt, crushed hazelnuts, sliced banana, and berries, with a cup of coffee, a bowl of oats, a bowl of hazelnuts and a bowl of berries next to the Triple Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl.

Happy Monday to you all.  I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling the need for a bit of a reset after the weekend.  We had a fun time hosting a little get together yesterday and of course had ALL THE SNACKS, including fried ravioli and my brownie cookie ice cream sandwiches.  And then on top of that, Little Boy #3 finally stayed in his bed all night for the second night in a row for which he was promised a box of donuts to share with his family.  So now everyone is at school and the leftover donuts are seriously staring me down as I type.  So far I have left them alone even though I feel my resolve starting to fade, but I’m going to stay strong and focus on telling you about this oatmeal!

So the plan for today is more along the healthful lines of this cheerful little Triple Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl.  Have you ever seen purple oatmeal?  Is it a thing, or did I just make it up?  I’m sure it’s been done before, but it is new to me and I just thought it was too pretty not to share, even if it’s definitely not rocket science.  

Triple Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl topped with vanilla yogurt, crushed hazelnuts, sliced banana, and berries, with a small bowl of berries and a cup of coffee in the background.

Here’s how it came about: Especially in the off season, I like to buy big bags of frozen berries from Costco (they have one with organic blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries) for smoothies and cobblers, and even just to thaw out add to my yogurt.  Last week I decided to try adding some to my oatmeal while it was cooking.  The berries broke down, and turned the oatmeal bright purple!  They added a great tang and a bit of sweetness, along with some maple syrup and I decided not to stop there but to swirl in some vanilla yogurt and sprinkle on my very favorite hazelnuts.

I ate it slowly throughout the morning as I went about my day, not minding it cooling to room temperature at all and loving every bite.  Hope you do too!

Description

Oats are cooked with frozen berries and then swirled with vanilla yogurt and a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts.  Such a good way to start the day! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup frozen berries
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (add more for a sweeter oatmeal)
  • pinch of salt
  • Toppings: Vanilla yogurt, crushed hazelnuts, sliced banana, additional berries

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, stir oats, milk, berries, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and salt over medium high heat.
  2. When the mixture starts to bubble, crush the berries with the back of the spoon and turn the heat to medium low and cover. Cook for 3-5 more minutes or until oats are tender to your preference, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour oatmeal in a bowl, and top with vanilla yogurt, nuts, and additional berries if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    How beautiful is this oatmeal? I mean I wouldn’t normally call oatmeal pretty, but the color of this recipe is pleasing to the eye! I’m sure it tastes as good as it looks!

    I just tried this recipe this morning – still eating it now! It’s sosososoo good. I added 2 tbsp of chia seeds and didn’t need to add more than one tsp of maple syrup. 🙂 I was browsing a YouTube fitness trainer’s Instagram and couldn’t help noticing that he has this oatmeal nearly every day! https://www.instagram.com/yaboymillhoy/ I had to find the recipe. Will definitely make this a few times a week 🙂

    How wonderful. I have had purple oatmeal by adding blueberries to my oatmeal. But i love the idea of adding the yogurt. I have gotten creative and added nuts and blueberries. As well as vanilla and cinnamon. I can’t wait to try this. Thank you.

      So Lynda, why do you feel the need to comment if you don’t plan on trying it? If you can’t figure out the nutritional info from oatmeal, milk, berries, etc, on your own, then perhaps you should just move along. There’s always “one” in every crowd.

    I like to use steel cut oats, and coconut milk….but wouldn’t that work just as well ? This is pretty much how I make my oatmeal, except I cook it in water and then just stir in yogurt, but now I’ll try cooking it in milk. I love that triple berry blend, use it constantly in yogurt, or just having a few frozen berries as a slightly sweet snack.

    Made this for the second time this morning. Delicious. Good make ahead breakfast to double and separate into servings. Top with nuts. Refrigerate. Grab on the way to work with some frozen berries in a baggie and a yogurt. Reheat at work. Top with the berries and yogurt (vanilla was delicious.)

    This was a nice change from my usual oatmeal I have and was really simple and quick to make. I used frozen blackberries, fresh blueberries and strawberries 1/3 cup each. Instead of whole milk I used unsweetened almond milk. My toppings were plain Greek yogurt and slivered almonds. And, I have breakfast ready before work one day this week. All will do is reheat in microwave and add whatever toppings want that day!

    I made this and thought it was gorgeous! I’ve posted it on my blog (just a lil blog for friends and family) and have made sure to clearly give all credit to you (so hope that is ok). It was the perfect Sunday morning breakfast – I was only going to have half and save the rest to cheer up my Monday, but I couldn’t help myself and ended up eating it all! Thank you for a lovely recipe 🙂

    Just tried making it now and it turned out great! Used low-fat lite milk instead of whole milk but it tasted so good! (I sliced up a banana to go with it on top)
    Congrats for making such a brilliant recipe!

    Nice to see the meal I’ve been eating for years published 🙂 little differences; I cook blueberries and strawberries in the oatmeal. Then I add non fat Greek Yogurt and sometimes add cinnamon.

    And yes, all from Costco

    Really good especially for a person who isn’t too keen on oats! I also added chia seeds for a little extra nutrition.

      I haven’t tried those substitutions, but I think they would be just fine. Enjoy!
