Make Ahead Seeded Oats
Description
This recipe assembles rolled oats with ground flaxseed, hulled hemp seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to provide fiber, texture, and subtle spice. The dry ingredients can be pre-portioned and stored in sealed containers or bags for easy future use. Preparing hot oats involves adding water or milk and microwaving until thickened; cold oats are prepared by mixing with liquid and refrigerating overnight. The oats develop a thick consistency and maintain texture from the seeds. The recipe allows adding sweeteners in the dry mix or fresh fruit, nuts, peanut butter, or jam just before serving, offering versatility in flavor.
This oatmeal base is practical for meal prep and supports a varied breakfast routine. Salt enhances the depth of flavor, balancing sweetness and cereal notes.
Ingredients
- 1.33 cup rolled oats
- 4 Tbsp Flaxseed ground
- 4 Tbsp hemp seeds hulled
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 2.67 cup water or milk or non-dairy milk
- sweetener of choice
- Fresh fruit optional fresh add-ins
- nuts
- peanut butter
- jam
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Divide dry ingredients between four containers (zip-top bags, reusable plastic containers, or glass containers with lids). About 1/3 cup oats, 1 Tbsp flaxseed, 1 Tbsp hemp seeds, 1/2 Tbsp chia seeds, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for each. If you are using a dry sweetener, like sugar, brown sugar, or stevia, you can add them to the dry mix. Store in a cool dry place indefinitely.
- To prepare the oats hot, add 2/3 cup water, milk, or non-dairy milk and stir to combine. Microwave on high for one minute, stir, then microwave in 30 second intervals until thickened. Let the seeded oats sit at room temperature for about 2 minutes to thicken further. Add in any extra items (fresh fruit, peanut butter, syrup, etc.) just before serving.
- To prepare cold oats, add 2/3 cup water, milk, or non-dairy milk, stir to combine, then refrigerate for 8 hours or up to 3-4 days. Stir in any fresh add-ins just before serving.
Notes
- Store dry oat and seed mixes in a cool, dry place indefinitely before use.
- Add sweeteners directly to the dry mix for convenience if desired.
- Microwave hot oats in intervals, stirring until thickened and creamy.
- Refrigerate cold preparation for 8 hours to achieve soaking and softening.
- Adding a pinch of salt enhances flavors and richness of the oats.
- Customize servings by mixing in fresh fruit, nuts, peanut butter, jam, or syrup as preferred.
