-
Oatmeal
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup dairy or non-dairy yogurt (or additional milk)
- 2 tablespoons nut or seed butter (almond, peanut, etc)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
- pinch of salt Toppings (Optional)
- fresh fruits (berries, banana, apple)
- nut butter
- chopped nuts
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all oatmeal ingredients to an empty lidded jar (mason jars, empty nut butter jars, etc). Stir well to combine, especially in the hard to reach corners - you want to make sure all of the oats are immersed in the liquid. It's ok if there are some chunks of nut butter remaining, those are the tastiest bits to eat the next day.
- Step 2: Add any optional toppings and close the jar. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
- Serve: Grab a spoon and enjoy. These oats can be enjoyed warm or cold.
Recipe Notes
Here are some flavor ideas: Chunky Monkey: Add mashed banana, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Strawberry Cheesecake: Add diced strawberries, a little vegan cream cheese, and vanilla. Chocolate: Add a spoonful of cacao powder and use a chocolate-hazelnut butter .
