How to Accidentally Make Blueberry Pie Oats

Blueberry pie oatsBegin in the usual fashion -- 1/4 cup oat bran and 1/8+ cup oats into a cute bowl.  Add:

  • dash of cinnamon

  • spoonful of pumpkin puree

  • dribble of applesauce

  • 2 packets of Truvia

  • 1/4 cup (ish) of water


Taste test.  Discover that it is too sweet.  Shrug; it tastes like apple pie, at least, which is no bad thing.

Open bag of frozen berries.  Begin to shuffle a few out.  Shriek when shuffling turns into a blueberry avalanche.

Scowl, cuss, then rescue uncontaminated blueberries from the bowl.  Stir.  Microwave for 2 (or more) minutes.

Stir again.  Taste test.  Decide that it's not too sweet after all.  Delight in the blueberry pie-ness of it all.  Photograph, blog, and devour.

  2. Oh wow, this looks so delicious!
    There are so many oatmeal recipies I want to try, but I can't seem to party away from craisins (& sometimes additional blueberries) oatmeal that I have every morning.
