Notes
It is not necessary to soak overnight. They can work up to 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator. It’s much better cold and soaked overnight!
You can use any oat—quick oats or steel cut oats, it’s truly your preference on texture. I love the chewiness of steel cut oats.
Add 1/4 cup yogurt as well to the basic recipe.
Mix-in ideas:
peanut butter and banana (1/8 cup peanut butter and 1/2 of a banana sliced)
apple cinnamon (1/2 apple chopped and 1/2 tsp cinnamon)
Raspberry vanilla (2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup raspberry)
blueberry honey (2 tsp honey and 1/2 cup blueberries)
maple syrup and nutmeg (3 tbsp syrup and 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp cinnamon)
granola and cranberries (1/2 cup granola and 1/4 cup cranberries)
