Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats

Recipe by Sarah Epps

This recipe is vegan and easily made gluten-free with certified gluten-free steel-cut oats, built for the feeling of rhythm in any season. It is best made the night before a busy morning, whether that is a first day back at work or just a Tuesday that needs an anchor, so pleasure is already waiting for you when you wake up.

Serves 1, can be easily multiplied for more servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup steel-cut oats
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Any toppings that bring you pleasure (dates and almond butter, dried cherries and hazelnuts, dried blueberries and walnuts, and any edible flowers fresh or dried are all good combinations)

Process

  1. The night before breakfast, measure out the water in a small pot with a lid and bring it to a boil. Add the pinch of salt and the oats and boil for a minute more. Put the lid on the pot, turn off the heat, and leave until morning.
  2. In the morning, heat up the oats in the same pot they cooked in. Serve in your favorite bowl and top with anything that brings you pleasure.
