Units
Scale
- 3/4 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1/3 cup sliced strawberries + extra for topping
- 1 cup non dairy milk (or 3/4 cup milk + 3 to 4 Tablespoons non dairy cream or yogurt)
- 2 Tablespoons chia seed
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- Dash cinnamon (optional)
- Optional Mix ins (after soaking) – drippy nut or seed butter, dark chocolate chips, protein powder, collagen, etc.
Instructions
Nutrition Tip – Adding small amounts of acid liquid such as vinegar or lemon juice is said to activate phytase, an enzyme that breaks down phytic acid.
- Combine the oats, strawberries, milk, chia seed, maple syrup, vanilla, and optional lemon juice/apple cider vinegar into a small mixing bowl. Mix well and then let the oats soak overnight in the fridge (or at least 2 hours if wanting to eat it that day).
- Remove from the fridge and spoon into two bowls or into two meal prep containers. Add sliced strawberries on top, and if desired, a splash of milk and maple syrup for a creamier texture.
- Store oats in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
Storage Tip – The oatmeal will expand and create more volume overnight.
