Berry Chia Oatmeal

I really like The Oatmeal Artist’s Fruit Salad Oatmeal with Poppy Seeds. I did not have poppy seeds in my pantry, but I did have chia, so I decided to mix it with those few frozen berries I had left to see if I could replicate a similar oatmeal. Once again, the frozen berries cooked down into a rich, jam-like compote. The chia seeds thickened the oatmeal, and I enjoyed this new breakfast treat.

Ingredients:

½ c. quick cooking oatmeal
1 c. water
1 T chia seeds
½ c. frozen berries

Directions:

1. Bring water and oats to a boil and reduce heat to medium.
2. Add frozen berries and chia and cook until berries break down and oats reach desired consistency.


Enjoy!
