- 40 g rolled oats ½ cup
- 240 ml milk or water
- 1 g ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon
- 1 g ground ginger ¼ teaspoon
- 1 g ground cardamom ¼ teaspoon
- 60 g wild blueberries fresh or frozen (¼ cup)
- Sweetener to taste e.g. honey or maple syrup (1–2 teaspoons)

- Optional: Fresh fruit slices for topping
Add the oats and your choice of milk or water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Add the cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. Stir in the wild blueberries and let simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, until creamy. Sweeten to taste.
Spoon into a bowl and top with fresh fruits and the salted almonds.
- Adjust the spices to your taste. A little nutmeg or clove works well too.
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk or oat milk.
- Maple syrup or date syrup also work great as sweeteners.
- Twist Ideas:
- Add a spoonful of almond butter, tahini, or some yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Stir in grated apple or mashed banana for natural sweetness.
- Swap wild blueberries for chopped dried figs or dates.
- For crunch, top with toasted coconut flakes or granola instead of almonds.
- Add a few saffron strands while cooking for a subtle floral note.
