Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation for Overnight Oats

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a mason jar or container, combine rolled oats, water or milk, and salt. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully submerged in the liquid.

  2. 2

    Add Toppings

    If desired, add honey or maple syrup to the mixture. Then layer in your choice of fresh fruits, nuts, and chia seeds or flaxseeds. You can also add yogurt on top for extra creaminess.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate

    Cover the jar or container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak up the liquid.

Preparation for Hot Oatmeal

  1. 4

    Boil Liquid

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water or milk to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Add Oats and Salt

    Once the liquid is boiling, stir in the rolled oats and salt. Reduce heat to low.

  3. 6

    Cook Oats

    Let the oats simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired consistency.

  4. 7

    Serve and Add Toppings

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Serve the oatmeal in bowls and add your choice of toppings such as honey, fresh fruits, nuts, chia seeds, or yogurt.
