Refrigerator Oatmeal Cups
These oatmeal cups are not only delicious but also a great way to start your day right. They’re filled with wholesome ingredients, and you can get creative with your flavor combinations. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or any plant-based alternative)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Your choice of fruit (e.g., berries, banana, or apple)
- Nuts and seeds for topping (optional)
- Yogurt for added creaminess (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds to form a dry mix.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- If you are adding fruits like bananas or apples, chop them and fold them into the mix at this stage.
- Divide the mixture equally into small jars or containers with lids. You want enough space for the oats to expand as they soak.
- Top each jar with your favorite nuts or seeds, and a dollop of yogurt if you like. This will enhance the flavor and add some protein!
- Cover the jars and refrigerate them overnight or for at least 4 hours. This will allow the oats to soak up the milk and soften.
- When you are ready to eat, simply grab a jar from the fridge, and enjoy!
These Refrigerator Oatmeal Cups are perfect for meal prep enthusiasts. You can make a batch for the week or experiment with different flavors each day. Enjoy your healthy and convenient breakfast!
