BREAKFAST WHILE YOU SLEEP
Overnight oats, anyone?
Doesn’t making breakfast while you sleep sound great?
There is nothing more comforting or filling than a bowl of steel-cut oats in the morning, but most of us don’t have 45 minutes to cook a fresh pot. Enter overnight oats to save the day! And the best part, you can meal prep them for the whole week!
Try making your own with these basic ingredients:
-1 2/3 cups steel-cut oats
-4 cups of water
-1/4 teaspoon salt
Then choose your favorite additions, like raisins, almonds, milk, cinnamon, fresh berries, jam, and honey.
You will also want to have five pint-sized jars with lids to store our oats in the refrigerator. And now to make your delicious oats:
Step one: Bring the oats, water, and salt to a boil, and simmer for about 3 minutes then turn off the heat.
Step two: Fill your jars with your oats and additional ingredients. Allow the jars set out uncovered until they are room temperature before you put on the lids and refrigerate.
Step three: In the morning, remove the cap and microwave if you prefer your oats warm, or just grab a spoon and eat them cold.
