Instructions

In a large pot over medium-high heat add water and salt and bring to a boil. *It’s important to watch the pot to ensure the ingredients don’t boil over.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and add in the oats and maple syrup. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes to soften the oats.

Remove the pot from the heat and allow the oats to come to room temperature. Once cool, add to one large container or 4 small containers, cover and place in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, add toppings of choice and enjoy cold.

Notes

If you prefer to use quick-cooking steel cut oats you absolutely can. This will result in a softer texture.

For added nutrients, feel free to add a sprinkle of hemp seeds, chia seeds or flax seeds or even a scoop of protein powder (I recommend stirring these in once the oats are cool).

If you would like to enjoy these warm, add the oats back to a small pot in the morning and stir over low-medium heat until warm.
