Breakfast Oat Bowls
Description
This recipe prepares a simple base of rolled oats soaked in plant-based milk and sweetened lightly with maple syrup along with sea salt to balance flavor. The soaked oats absorb the liquid overnight, resulting in a soft, creamy texture that resembles overnight oats. The soaking process eliminates the need for cooking, making it a convenient option.
In the morning, stirring in more milk can adjust the texture from thick to more spoonable as desired. The bowls can be personalized with toppings, which are variable and not specified here, allowing for seasonal or taste preferences. This makes the recipe adaptable for different dietary needs or flavor profiles.
Additionally, preparing jars the night before with oats and toppings included allows for a grab-and-go breakfast suited to busy schedules. This flexibility and simplicity provide a nutritious start to the day without extensive preparation time.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats whole
- 1/2 cup almond milk more as needed, or light coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions
- In a small jar, combine the oats, almond or coconut milk, maple syrup, and salt. Stir and chill overnight.
