Blueberry Oatmeal Recipe (2024)

The trick to Oatmeal in the microwave is to sprinkle the cinnamon on the water and then heat. The cinnamon creates surface tension on the water and it never overflows. Without the cinnamon, the oatmeal overflows.

You are onto something! In my version I skip the honey as the mixture is already sweet and add a couple of egg whites for protein.

The trick to making oatmeal in the microwave is to use a ridiculously large bowl so it doesn't overflow. This trick makes oatmeal in the morning mindless.

Favorite oatmeal recipe. The orange zest and cinnamon adds a lot.

I use stel cut oats, cooked in ratio of one cup oats to five cups water for one hour. This requires a very slow simmer.
For topping I use blueberries and a couple tablespoons of Marcia Clark's Granola (with pistachios , maple syrup , and dried apricots). This provides adequate sweetening and great texture.

Nutmeg is in the instructions but not in the ingredients list. Any suggestion of whether to add and how much?

really liked it! skipped the honey and added more blueberries instead.

I usually do.

Made this, this morning for me & my man, who usually eats flavored instant oatmeal, and we are so happy!! I wasn’t too sure about the milk and orange zest but wow—turned traditional oatmeal rich and gourmet. Adding this recipe to my collection. ;)Adjustments: I used steel cut oatmeal, frozen blueberries, added more water (to my desired consistency), and added a Tbsp of brown sugar.

I am a fan of Martha but this is a terrible recipe. Too much liquid, had to microwave several minutes longer. Very soupy and bland flavor. So disappointed.

hmm so I tried to only make one portion but ended up having leftovers... is there any way to store it?

I have made this oatmeal for breakfast the last three mornings. The first time, when I was halving the recipe for just myself, I subbed maple syrup for honey & accidentally kept the full amount of cinnamon, blueberries, & milk. These ended up being welcome ‘mistakes’. Added some natural almond butter this morning. Will be eating variations of this recipe all fall/winter long.

This is a nice and different way to make my usual morning oatmeal, but it doesn't really stand out to me. The orange flavor is quite strong, though, which is nice.

Followed exactly as instructed and got a watery bland mess

This is a bowl of morning delight for the senses, and healthy, too! Thank you!

The stove top version of this is as staple in our home! I make it it double batches so we can have some the next day and it heats up in the microwave well. I skip the orange zest, I think it does a little too much when I want something more cozy and traditional.

It is delicious but frustrating done in the microwave. I will make it again but limit the water to one cup and increase the cooking time to reduce the soupiness. Also I suggest cooking the final step without the plate cover.

Does anyone know who makes the bowl shown in the picture?

I love this recipe and make it for breakfast often. I do sub maple syrup for the honey and I use oat milk. Also, I top the oatmeal with a small handful of chopped pecans. A wonderful, easy, healthy breakfast!!

Perfect with a dash of nutmeg. I like to serve with a drizzle of maple, walnut halves, and fresh berries.

My spouse announced that he would happily eat this every morning. It may have helped that I used whole milk, and added a little brown sugar, additional fresh berries, and chopped pecans to serve.

Used Meyer lemon zest instead orange zest. Used1/8 t cardamon and 1/8 t cinnamon. Garnished with a few fresh blueberries. Outstanding.

Well I scaled it up for four servings and was thinking 4 tsp honey was too much. Good thing I only put 3 tsp. Replace honey with maple syrup and milk with almond milk to make this vegan.

Delicious!

I have recently discovered that as an A type blood oatmeal is a must have breakfast for me. I was kind of bummed about it until I found this recipe. It turned ordinary oatmeal into something absolutely delicious and I’m so thankful. I added toasted walnuts but everything else I followed somewhat precisely. Thank you so much!
