Cook Mode Prevent your screen from sleeping while you cook

Instructions

Bring the water and sea salt to a boil in a medium saucepan.
While you wait for the water to boil, combine the steel-cut oats, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and collagen in a small bowl.
Once boiling, quickly pour the dry ingredients into the water and whisk thoroughly to combine. Immediately reduce heat to a low simmer.
Add cauliflower rice, berries, vanilla extract and sweetener of choice. Whisk to combine, then cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally while it cooks, using the whisk to crush the fruit as it softens. This is what gives it such a pretty color.
Carefully pour the oatmeal into your favorite bowl and finish with a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter.
Optional: Garnish with flaky finishing salt and serve with a glass of your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk for maximum nostalgia.

Notes

Substitutions:
