- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 cups water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup almonds (chopped)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup 2% milk (optional for creaminess)

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and water or almond milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat (about 5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and stir in flaxseed meal, blueberries, and cinnamon. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the oats are creamy and thick.
