Oats are a whole-grain cereal and a wonderful source of fiber especially beta glucan. They are also high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.


Ingredients

1 cup oats, we prefer rolled or steel-cut (but feel free to choose what you like)

2 cups milk of your choice

3/4 tsp cinnamon powder- we love this touch

1 banana (fresh or frozen)

2 tbsp ground flaxseeds

1 tbsp chia seeds

2 walnuts or almonds or few raisins

One can add honey for sweetness if required

TOPPINGS

1-2 tbsp peanut or almond butter

Roasted pumpkin seeds

Sprinkle of hemp seeds

Directions:

  1. Roast the oats and let it cool, unroasted works well too.
  2. Soak them in milk just so that the oats are just soaked, do not overdo milk.
  3. Add all ingredients except the toppings.
  4. Keep in the fridge in an airtight container, overnight.
  5. In the morning, add more milk if needed.

Tips:

  1. If you forget to do an overnight preparation, please roast oats, then add milk, let it simmer for 5 minutes and add the ingredients.
  2. Use mangoes in overnight oats for a tropical summer feel or even apples to change the taste.
  3. Use fresh coconut shreds and pineapple too.
