Scale
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup – 1 cup milk (depends on how thick you like it)
- 1 tbsp nut butter (2 tbsp actual nut)
- Sprinkle of hemp seeds (chia or flax work well too)
- 1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Add to a mason jar or small bowl 1/2 cup milk, nut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla. Add oats and stir a few more times. Then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats have been moistened and are immersed in the milk.
- Cover securely with a lid or plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
- Add the next day 1/2 cup more milk (if you like the oatmeal thinner) and enjoy as is – add fruit at this time. OR
- Heat – If you like your oatmeal hot, still add 1/2 cup more milk (if you like the oatmeal thinner), microwave for 30 seconds at a time – total time is about 1 minute 30 seconds. Add fruit once warmed and sprinkle with the chia seeds (I prefer to add the flax, chia, and hemp at the end . If this is too many steps in the morning, add it all the night ahead. It works that way too!
- Store – Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours.
