Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind: almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1/4 cup yogurt (for creaminess, optional).
- If you want more fiber and thickness, serve with something such as 1 tablespoon chia seeds (see version 1 below).
- Sweet sugar (maple syrup, honey or agave): 1 teaspoon
- A pinch of salt
- Vanilla extract (optional) 1/4 teaspoon
Topping Ideas:
- Fresh or frozen berries
- Sliced banana
- Almonds, walnuts, etc. or nut butter.
- Coconut flakes
- Granola
- Things like cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions:
1-Mix Ingredients: Add the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, salt and vanilla into a mason jar or container with a lid. Make sure it’s all mixed well.
2-Add Toppings: It’s cool with toppings now or leave it until serving. Add in the morning for fresh fruit like bananas.
3-Chill Overnight: Put cover on and refrigerate for 4 or more hours or overnight. As the liquid subsides the oats will begin to absorb it and get a little soft.
4-Serve & Enjoy: Stir the oats well and give them in the morning. Add any extra
the toppings you want and enjoy chilled, or warmed!
Tips:
- Adjust Consistency: If the oats are thicker reduce the milk slightly more. During the morning, adding a splash more milk works if you have thinner oats.
- Meal Prep-Friendly: If you want easy breakfasts for the rest of the week – make several jars at once.
This is the perfect breakfast dish made delicious, healthy, and fuss-free, so you can grab and go every morning.
