Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1.333 cups almond milk Substitutes such as oat or coconut milk can also be used.
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed Applesauce or nut butter can be used as alternatives.
  • 1.25 cups rolled oats Ensure they are certified gluten-free for gluten-free version.
  • 0.75 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds Flaxseeds can be used as an alternative.
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adjust spices as desired.
Toppings
  • 0.25 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.25 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 piece nectarine, peeled and diced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large jar or airtight container, combine the almond milk, mashed bananas, rolled oats, water, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Cooking
  1. After the soaking period, place the oat mixture in a saucepan over low heat. Gently cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's warmed through and just starting to bubble.
Serving
  1. Divide the warm oats into two bowls. Top each with fresh blueberries, blackberries, and diced nectarines. Enjoy while warm!

Notes

Best served warm; can also be enjoyed cold. For a pretty presentation, layer the oatmeal and fruit in clear glass jars. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
