Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, water or milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the mixed berries and optional cinnamon.

  5. 5

    Divide the oatmeal between two bowls. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey, if desired, and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds before serving.
