Warm Chia Oatmeal with Fresh Fruit and Nuts

Ingredients

- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as berries, sliced banana, or diced apple)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oats and Milk Mixture:
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully submerged in the milk.

2. Cook the Oatmeal:
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the oats, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and the mixture starts to thicken, approximately 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Chia Seeds:
Once the oats are partially cooked, add the chia seeds. Stir frequently and continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the oats are fully cooked and the chia seeds have slightly thickened the mixture.

4. Incorporate the Yogurts:
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the plain yogurt and Greek yogurt until well combined, creating a creamy texture.

5. Mix in Crème Fraîche:
Add the crème fraîche into the oatmeal, incorporating it gently until the mixture is smooth and velvety.

6. Assemble the Dish:
Divide the warm oatmeal into four serving bowls. Top each bowl evenly with mixed fresh fruit and chopped nuts for texture and flavor.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately while still warm, allowing the fresh fruit and nuts to add a contrast to the creamy oats.
