10-Minute Creamy Dream: Oatmeal & Avocado for a Superstar Breakfast!

Who says healthy can’t be delicious and quick? This recipe combines the power of creamy oatmeal and luscious avocado for a breakfast that’s ready in under 10 minutes!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oatmeal (quick or rolled oats work great)
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 cups water or milk (choose your preference!)
• Pinch of salt (to taste)

Optional Toppings (Get Creative!):

• Cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
• Fresh herbs like chopped parsley, chives, or cilantro
• Drizzle of olive oil for extra richness
• Squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy twist
• Seeds like chia, hemp, or flax for an extra nutritional boost

Instructions:

1. Oatmeal Magic: In a pot, bring your chosen liquid (water or milk) to a boil. Add the oats and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. It should be creamy but not mushy.

2. Avocado Awesomeness: While the oatmeal simmers, halve your avocado and scoop out the flesh. Mash it with a fork until smooth and creamy. Season with a touch of salt, if desired.

3. Assemble Your Masterpiece: Pour the cooked oatmeal into a bowl. Top it generously with the mashed avocado. Gently fold the avocado into the oatmeal for a beautiful marbled effect, or leave it separate for a layered look.

4. Flavor Explosion (Optional): Now comes the fun part – the toppings! Get creative and add your favorites for extra flavor, texture, and a visual pop. Some ideas include cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of seeds.
