Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 2 1/2 cups (20 fluid oz.) unsweetened oat, almond or cashew milk
- 1 1.5 oz. box of sugar free instant pudding (vanilla, lemon or cheesecake)
- ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon (optional)
- ½ to 2 whole bananas
- 1-pint fresh blueberries
- 4 tbsp. chia seeds
Directions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl mash the banana with a little of the milk until it is almost a puree. Add the remainder of the milk, vanilla, applesauce, cinnamon (optional), pudding mix, and the chia seeds.
- Add the oats and mix well until moistened. Cover and refrigerate for 48 hours.
- After 48 hours*, divide the oats into 4 equal servings. Top each serving with equal parts of blueberries. If the consistency is thicker than desired, add a little water or milk and stir.
Tips
- *Allow 48 hours for the oatmeal to soften in the refrigerator prior to eating or it will result in a chewy texture.
- If serving immediately, consider adding freshly sliced banana or other seasonal fruits.
- For additional convenience, place each serving portion in an airtight container for a quick on-the-go breakfast and begin eating after 48 hours. Add sliced banana or other fresh fruit just before eating, if desired.
- To increase the protein content consider using skim/nonfat dairy milk and/ or adding some vanilla whey protein powder.
