Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, etc.. for meal prep throughout the week

  3. Enjoy! Step by step photos, FAQ, suggestions in above post and in notes*

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.
