Though this oatmeal is delicious on its own, don’t forget the blueberry topping, because these sweet berries contain beneficial properties for those with insulin resistance. The phytonutrients in blueberries can reduce the risk of unhealthy belly fat as well as improve insulin sensitivity and glucose levels. Both cultivated and wild blueberries are good choices for your diet.

Instructions:

1. Put the water in a medium saucepan over high heat, and bring the liquid to a boil.

2. Stir in the oats, and reduce the heat to low so they simmer gently.

3. Simmer the oats uncovered for about 20 minutes, until they are tender.

4. Stir in the almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

5. Serve topped with blueberries and whole almonds.
