Recipe Notes

• I added walnuts to my oatmeal to increase fiber and flavor, but nuts are optional.

• I topped my oatmeal with fresh blueberries, but additional berries are optional.

• For creaminess, I added 1/4 cup almond milk to my oatmeal, but that is optional.

Here's how to make it:

1. Add the water and salt to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add in the oats, reduce heat to low and stir until combined. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Cook for a few minutes, stirring continuously, until oatmeal is done (according to package directions).
2. Add in the peaches and strawberries, and walnuts, if using. Stir until all ingredients are blended and fruit is warm and soft.
3. Serve immediately. Garnish with berries of choice, if desired. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days. If reheating, add 1/4 cup milk to each serving and warm in microwave.
