I love breakfast. Actually, you will notice most of my posts here are about breakfast. And here is yet another revelation for your mornings – overnight oats. They taste refreshing almost like a smoothie or pudding, but they are so easy and healthy. The idea is simple: combine oatmeal, milk, half a banana-mashed, and vanilla; set in the fridge overnight — wake up to breakfast. The oats are eaten cold, which might sound strange, but is truly delicious.
There are a bunch of recipes out there. I based my recipe off of the Oh She Glows recipe. Non-vegan overnight oatmeal varieties can be found here.
Overnight Oats
1/2 cup oats
3/4 soy milk
1/2 large banana or 1 small
dash of vanilla extract
Directions:
Mash the banana. Combine ingredients. Leave overnight in the refrigerator. Enjoy.
A few notes about my ingredients. I only had “tenderly” cut oats, which are rolled oats, I think, but this works with regular oats. It just won’t have the pudding consistency. I also would love to try using almond milk, but I just can’t find it here.
Unrelated, I just finished another knitting project. It was another dishcloth from Wools Happenin. She had a pattern for a monogrammed K dishcloth and I couldn’t resist. Unfortunately, I only had pink yarn in my stash (leftover from the bunny project). Still, it makes a nice dishcloth or hot pad. I am going to make one more dishcloth, but then I am going to move onto something bigger and better.
I love breakfast, too. I’m going to have to give overnight oats a try! I’m glad you enjoyed knitting the K Dishcloth, and I appreciate you linking to it.
