Greetings all!
Are you a breakfast person? If you are, do you make breakfast every morning? I love a good breakfast but sometimes I just do not have the mental energy to think of what I want to have with my coffee. And sometimes I do not have the time to prepare something delicious from scratch. This is where a butler would come in handy but alas I am still butler-less. If you are in the same boat, try making overnight oats!
I love this recipe - easy, healthy, delicious, and very efficient! You can make a big batch the night before to carry you through several mornings. Also, if you like variety in your meals, this recipe is super-customizable - just swap the toppings.
Ingredients:
- Base: Rolled oats + your choice of milk (water works too).
- Toppings: vanilla extract, bananas, fruits, berries, nuts, seeds, honey, maple syrup, pinch of salt, cacao nibs, raisins, dried fruit, etc.
Instructions:
- Mix oats and milk or water (1:1 ratio works well so the oats are barely covered with liquid)
- Add toppings now or before serving (if adding frozen fruit or berries, add them now)
- Refrigerate overnight in an airtight container
- Before serving, add a splash of milk
- Add additional toppings, if desired
- You can store up to 3 days
Toppings:
- Fruit or berries (fresh, frozen, dried)
- Granola and raspberries
- Strawberries and almonds
- Cherries and walnuts
- Mango and pineapple
- Chia seeds, honey, and nuts
- Honey and grated apple
- Honey, grated apple and carrot, walnuts, and raisins
- In Ireland, some hotels offer a splash of whiskey in your oatmeal - what a fabulous idea for a lazy weekend in!
Bon Appetit! Let me know how you like it!
