Oatmeal Yogurt Breakfast

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Serves: 1

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup dry oatmeal
  • Handful of blueberries (optional)
  • 1 cup of low-fat yogurt

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a bowl, combine the dry oatmeal, low-fat yogurt, and the optional handful of blueberries if desired.
  2. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the oats to absorb some of the yogurt and soften.
  4. Alternatively, if using steel-cut oats, you can refrigerate the mixture overnight. This will give you a delicious and creamy overnight oats breakfast option.
  5. After the soaking period, your oatmeal is ready to eat. Enjoy this quick and nutritious breakfast at home or on-the-go!
