Tools:

150 ML/6 oz. wide mouth Ball or Mason jar with lid

measuring spoons and cups, or you can just eye-ball it!

Ingredients:

I’ll list what we used, but sown below in the “Method” I will also give some great substitutions to meet whatever diet needs you have.

Coconut milk

Steel cut oats or quick oats (quick oats are smaller in size so i tend to like those best, just a personal preference)

Chia seeds 5 T. one tablespoon for each jar (this is the “thickener” of the overnight oats)

Dried cranberries 5 T.  one tablespoon for each jar

Orange zest 1 tsp. (Optional)

Pure Maple syrup 2 T. 

Almond butter  2 T. (Optional) I don’t use

Cinnamon 3 tsp.  

Chopped apple of your choice 1 cup spread between all five jars 

Pumpkin seeds, see below for roasting recipe

Method:

In mixing bowl, add oats, cinnamon, syrup, coconut milk, stir well.

Add in chia seeds, sun butter (if using), dried cranberries, and orange zest.

Equally fill mason jars 1/2 way with liquid then lid and refrigerate overnight.  In morning chop apple, and top with roasted pumpkin seeds. 

Subs:

Splenda instead of syrup 

Sun butter instead of almond, or try any peanut butter alternative you think will rock the flavor!

GF oats instead of regular ones

Almond milk

Cashew milk

Oat milk

Kefier 

Extra thick option, cut milk liquid in 1/2 and add plain Greek yogurt as other 1/2

Pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon extra flavor

This is your breakfast so try different versions every week, you’ll find your favorite!
