Notes
This recipe makes one serving.
You can use old fashioned rolled oats (not the quick cook kind) or quick cook steel cut oats. Sometimes I even use a mix of the two for a heartier texture!
You can use fresh or frozen berries, depending on what time of year you make this recipe. I like to use fresh berries when berries are in season, but the recipe works just fine with frozen berries too.
Any combination of berries will work for this recipe. I usually use strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
