Overnight Oatmeal In A Jar

Prepare this at night and have breakfast waiting for you when you wake up! Great in the summer too when you don’t feel like eating something warm.  I use gluten free oats because I am sensitive to gluten.  I save my gluten eating for something fabulous like fresh sourdough bread dipped in olive oil.  Steel cut oats will work fine.

Overnight Oatmeal In a Jar

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan,

1-2 servings

1/2 cup gluten free oats, or steel cut oats
1 cup almond or hemp milk
1 Tb unsweetened shredded coconut
1 Tb chia seeds
1 Tb chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
¼ cup blueberries
1 Tb maple syrup (optional) or stevia.  The berries make it sweet enough for me.
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp cinnamon

• Combine everything in a glass jar with a lid. Stir and close the lid.
• Store in the fridge overnight.
• Remove from the refrigerator and eat as is or heat it up for a minute.
• Top with extra blueberries and cinnamon

 A few more things…

•  Use strawberries or cherries instead of the blueberries.
•  Instead of berries add in 2 Tb of goji berries, dates or dried cranberries
• Make it with 1/2 almond milk and 1/2 coconut yogurt, it comes out really creamy!
