Ingredients

1/2 cup

Gluten-Free Oats

1 cup

Water

or dairy-free milk

1 Tbsp

Chia Seeds

plus more for garnish

1/4 cup

Strawberries

chopped

1/4 cup

Blueberries

2 Tbsp

Pumpkin Seeds

3 Tbsp

Greek Yogurt

Instructions

Start by measuring the oats and liquids. The ratio is 1:2. The usual serving size is 1/2 cup oats to 1 cup of water, milk or combination of both. We like combining 1/2 a cup of water and 1/2 a cup of (dairy free) milk for the best consistency.

Bring the liquid to a boil in a small saucepan. Then reduce the heat to low and pour in the oats and chia. Allow them to cook until they thicken and absorb all the liquid, stirring frequently. It will take about 5 minutes.

Top with yogurt, berries and pumpkin seeds

Substitutions: Use coconut yogurt instead of greek yogurt for a dairy free option. Add raw honey for a little extra sweetness. Don’t have fresh berries? That’s ok! use frozen berries or any fruit instead (banana, kiwi, apple).
