Why I love oatmeal so much…

I started eating oatmeal since my junior year of University and still haven’t stopped. It’s seriously so addicting. There are many ways to make it, from overnight oats, baked oats, stove-top oats… Here’s why:

• Love the feeling of satisfaction after a good oatmeal bowl
• Not hungry for hours
• High in fiber (and you know… fiber makes you go to the 🚽 aka poop)
• Healthy and packed with nutrients

What you’ll need

The list:

• Oats – I used rolled oats. They have a chewier texture and soak well overnight without having a mushy consistency. But, feel free to use any type of oats like, quick oats, just add less milk.
• Vanilla protein powder – For extra packed protein intake. Replace with more rolled oats and sweetener.
• Liquid sweetener – I used honey. Replace with agave, maple or date syrup. Reduce water if not using honey, you should have a slightly thick consistency on the chocolate ganache.
• Yogurt – Or Greek Yogurt also works! Adding some yogurt makes overnight oats to be creamier.
• Vanilla extract
• Milk – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk.
• Chocolate chips – Dark chocolate chips or semi-sweetened chocolate chips. Both work!
• Almond butter – For that special, cookie dough flavor. I used an All-Natural almond butter.

That’s it! So minimal, simple and delicious!
