Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats, or quick oats (43 g)
- 1 cup milk of choice (I use almond milk) (240ml)
- 1 small apple* , grated with skin on (discard core)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon chopped almonds , or hazelnuts
- 1 Tablespoon golden raisins
Optional Add-Ins:
- ground cinnamon , to taste
- 1 coop vanilla protein powder*
- drizzle of honey or maple syrup
- small scoop plain greek yogurt , for extra creaminess
- Seeds: pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds
- fresh berries
Instructions
- Combine oats and milk: For quick oats, let them soak for a few minutes, then add toppings and enjoy! For regular rolled oats, soak in milk for a few hours, or overnight.
- Add Toppings: Remove from fridge and stir in grated apple and lemon juice (I always stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder, too!) Top with chopped nuts and raisins. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Drizzle with a little honey or maple syrup, if desired, or any of our other add-in ideas.
