Description

If you want to give it a little chocolate flair, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder when assembling.
Oatmeal Topping Suggestions:
- Fresh berries, grated or finely diced apple, sliced bananas, diced peaches, mangos, or pears
- Dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or apricots
- Toasted chopped nuts like pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios
- Ground Cinnamon or cardamom
- Mixed Berry Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon each: chia seeds, nut butter, maple syrup (or agave or honey)
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk (nut or oat, your choice), plus extra for drizzling.

Instructions

  • Pour oats in a pint-size (2-cup) jar. Add chia seeds, nut butter, and sweetener. Pour in milk of choice and stir gently to soak the oats. Screw on lid and refrigerate overnight. Your oatmeal is now ready to serve as a cold or hot cereal.
  • To heat the oatmeal, remove the lid and microwave on high power for 1 minute. Stir so that oatmeal heats evenly and then microwave on high power for 1 minute longer. Add milk to loosen and enrich and top with dried or seasonal fresh fruit, toasted nuts, and/or a sprinkling of cinnamon. Drizzle with extra sweetener if you like!
