I choose to make these with a combination of almond milk and cow milk, but you can use any type of milk you choose so long as it is 1 parts oats, 2 parts liquid. I've also seen some people make this with greek yogurt, but I don't like the "tangy" taste of the greek yogurt with my oatmeal.
I make these in mason jars and I usually make 6 at a time to keep in the fridge during the week for a quick breakfast. They are quick and easy to make, and very yummy and satisfying.
Serving size: 1 person.
Ingredients:
- 1 small or 3/4 large ripe banana sliced
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats (the kind that takes 5 minutes to cook on the stove)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (I like vanilla)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds (I like shelled hemp hearts) (optional)
- 1 tsp ground flax (optional)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (you can also use honey)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- fruit mix in (I like some combination of strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, but you could make it with anything you heart desires)
Directions:
Pour all of the ingredients into the mason jar. Shut lid. Shake. Refrigerate over night or up to 5 nights. Enjoy!
