Description
A quick and comforting breakfast featuring creamy oats sweetened with maple and brown sugar, topped with crunchy toasted pecans and walnuts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp toasted pecans, chopped
- 1 tbsp toasted walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the milk and rolled oats together until combined.
- Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly so the sugar dissolves and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Divide the oat mixture evenly between two serving containers. Cover each container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- When you’re ready to eat, sprinkle the toasted pecans and walnuts on top. Serve cold or let sit a few minutes to take the chill off.
Notes
For extra creaminess and protein, consider adding 2 tbsp Greek yogurt. Substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
