Adding berries and flaxseeds to this classic dish elevates its flavor and nutritional value, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a wholesome, satisfying, and delicious meal. This recipe is easy to prepare and offers a burst of fruity freshness with a hint of nutty undertones from the flaxseeds.

½ cup mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries)
1 tablespoon flaxseeds (ground or whole)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Pinch of cinnamon (optional, for flavor)

Prepare the base:
In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy (about 5-7 minutes).
