In this satisfying, on-the-go oatmeal recipe, protein-rich Greek yogurt, crunchy pecans and sweet berries make this the perfect healthy breakfast. Short on time in the morning? Try our overnight oatmeal variation.

Prep/Cook Time: 35 Minutes, Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon toasted chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup

Directions

Bring water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in oats, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Top with blueberries, yogurt, pecans and syrup.
