This oatmeal recipe is inspired by dozens of recipes and is tweaked to my liking😊
Notes
- Oats: I buy Quaker old fashioned rolled oats or Bob’s red mill, both are gluten free, always check the label to make sure though.
- Plant milk: I prefer the taste of soy milk for my oatmeal and it is higher in protein but of course use your favorite, oat, pea, almond milk, etc..!
- Recipe does not work with steel cut oats (takes more liquid and longer soak time) or instant oatmeal (too mushy in my opinion)
- I always make in a bowl unless I will be transporting it (school or work) then I will use a mason jar or sealable container
- Store: will keep covered in fridge for 5 days
- I use 16 oz mason jars (holds 2 cups) work perfectly for 1 serving of overnight oats with toppings, 8 oz are too small.
