  • Fruit (see chef's tip below on frozen fruit)
  • Maple syrup, honey, or other sweetener
  • Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or clove
  • Nut butters
  • Coconut flakes
  • Seeds or chopped nuts
  • Chia seeds

  2. Place in the refrigerator to soften overnight, or add in additions of choice.

Qualities

  • Texture: Soft
  • Scent : 0/10
  • Spice Level: 0/10

Tips

  • Make it seasonal with fall flavors by adding maple syrup, canned pumpkin, ground cinnamon, & roasted pecans on top!
  • Frozen fruit can be transferred to the refrigerator the night before to make it perfectly soft to layer onto the oats before serving.
  • Chia seeds can be added before placing in the refrigerator for a more pudding-like consistency. Greek yogurt can also be added for extra creaminess.
  • Putting nut butters in before refrigerating will result in a very firm texture and is not recommended.
