Wholesome bowl of hot blueberry oatmeal with flax is the BEST healthy breakfast you’ll ever eat! Topped with toasted pecans, fresh blueberries, and drizzle of honey. This oatmeal is all about clean, good for your ingredients that will keep you full and satisfied without any sacrifice in taste.
Happy New Year guys! I missed you all. Feels like it’s been forever. As much as I love to cook, it was so nice to take time off from the kitchen and spend time with family.
Now I’m completely refreshed, back with new ideas and 100% motivated to kick off the year with good and healthy habits.
Speaking of healthy habits, let’s make the most important meal of the day: breakfast. Not just any breakfast but a wholesome bowl of hearty oatmeal.
This stuff here is simple to make and will leave your belly fully satisfied. Even if you’re up before the crack of dawn, you can totally make this. So, let’s kiss those instant oatmeal packets goodbye and make some real food.
All you need is milk, water, old-fashioned oats, ground flaxseed and salt. Bring the water + milk to a boil. Add oats, flax + salt. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until the oats are tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover, and let stand for about 2 minutes. Stir couple times and then the fun part….spoon the oats into serving bowls, add blueberries, pecans, and drizzle of honey. And eat away!
What I love about this oatmeal besides that it’s super satisfying and filling is that by just adding couple extra ingredients (hello flaxseed!!!) to regular oats you have yourself a completely wholesome breakfast.
With good for you carbs, fiber, and protein.
Plus it’s naturally sweetened with honey ♥ And you can play around with different fruit and nut toppings, so you never have to get tired of same ol’ breakfast again.

Haven’t made yet, reason being sodium 51%. Is that correct?
Katya says
It’s more like 15% and not 51%. Thanks for catching that. But keep in mind the nutrition info is only an estimate.

Reading this recipe reminds me of my own oat based varied quick version. I put 2/3 cup of quick oats, a fist of ground flax seed and 3 tablespoons of prepared kidney beans (or mashed chickpeas) in a mixing bowl with a sprinkle of salt. I add hot water, mix, spread on a plate, and microwave for 2 and 1/2 minutes. This is enough but sometimes I exercise the option to add one or more of the following: blueberries, crushed walnut seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, ground quinoa, etc. I mix with a few tablespoons of yogurt, consume as a late supper and I am good to a little after noon the next day. It is sumptuous, filling and lasting.
