Easy Oatmeal Recipe with Blueberries

My typical breakfast includes eggs, especially when I am following a low carb diet. But there are times when boredom sets in and I just have to have something else. On those days, I often make oatmeal and this is my go-to recipe: easy microwave oatmeal with blueberries. 

Notice the melted butter on top? That is the game-changer for me. Butter enriches the flavor. Yum!

1/3 cup oatmeal (regular, NOT quick)

2/3 cup water

pinch coarse sea salt

dash of ground cinnamon

10-12 blueberries* 

chopped walnuts** (optional)

1 tsp butter

Pour dry oatmeal in microwavable bowl.

Add water and mix.

Blend in walnuts (optional)

Sprinkle with pinch of salt.

Sprinkle with 2 dashes of cinnamon.

Microwave for 2 minutes on high.

Place blueberries on top.

Microwave another 30 seconds.

Add a pat of butter to the top.

*Blueberries: use fresh blueberries or thawed frozen blueberries. 

**Walnuts: for those who love nuts, walnuts taste great in this recipe.
