Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully blended. Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, and maple syrup, and stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the mixture into a sealed container or jar. Place it in the refrigerator and let it soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Serve: The next morning, take the oats out of the refrigerator. You can enjoy it cold directly or warm it up gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through. Stir before serving.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture; steel-cut oats will be too hard and quick oats too mushy.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax or chia egg and use plant-based milk.
- Add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup for added flavor and texture.
- Stir well before serving to redistribute the ingredients.
- If warming, do so gently to avoid cooking the egg fully into a scramble.
