After seeing lots of posts about overnight oats in the blogosphere, I finally decided to try my hand (spoon?) at the trend and see how I liked it. I liked these oats plenty! Rich, creamy, super-healthy... what more could I ask for? The carob works really well here and has a natural sweetness. The coffee powder is optional, and it can add a bit of a kick. Sortof like a mildly caffeinated iced mocha for breakfast, in oatmeal form!
To make these oats, you will need:
- Milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond)
- Carob powder to taste
- Optional: instant coffee powder, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt
- Old-fashioned oats
- Mix the milk with a few spoonfuls of carob powder and the optional ingredients, if you're using them. Stir everything, taste, and adjust proportions if necessary.
- Add the oats and stir the mixture.
- Cover and leave in the fridge overnight. Over this time the oats will absorb the liquid and get really creamy.
- Enjoy!
This was good. The photo doesn't do it justice (my regular camera is getting repaired). Expect more overnight oat recipes to follow!
