{Recipe} Cheatin' Overnight Oats

I've been having this breakfast on repeat lately.  I usually make up a batch of these Simple Steel Cut Oats every week and keep them in the fridge to heat up in the mornings as needed.  But lately I've been wanting overnight-type oats so I came up with my own version.

To make: Put some cold cooked oatmeal into a wide mouthed Mason jar (or bowl). Add some almond milk (or sub milk of choice) and stir. Add 1-2 TBS of chia seeds and stir to combine. Let sit for about 10 minutes so chia seeds can absorb the liquid. You can let this sit longer if you like. Go about your day and think about your toppings.

 After about 10 minutes or so, give it another stir and start adding your toppings. I like to add a drizzle of maple syrup, lots of cinnamon and some sunflower seed butter and then give it another stir. Add fruit of choice to the top -bananas have been my go-to lately. Then it's more cinnamon and some hemp seeds on top. Dig in and enjoy!

This day I also added some defrosted frozen mango and coconut flakes. Yum!  Other mix-ins/toppings are: nut butters, nuts, sunflower seeds, granola, chocolate chips,brown sugar and agave or honey. Go to town!
