Never-ending Oatmeal Bowl

By newbaucher

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 T chia seeds
• 1 1/2 cups water or non-dairy milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup more liquid
• optional: sweetener, add-ins

Preparation

Step 1

Place your oats and salt in a large, microwaveable dish (I use a pyrex 4-cup measurer) with the non-dairy milk. (You can use all water, but itfs MUCH creamier with milk. I use a combination.) Microwave 1 and 1/2 minutes, then add your chia and 1/2 cup more liquid. Microwave 2 more minutes. Donft open the microwave door yet. Instead, leave your mixture for five minutes. Then stir and put in the fridge—uncovered—overnight. Next day, it will magically be thick and ready for your favorite add-ins!

For sweetener, try using the Melted-Banana Trick.

Also, I really like to put the cooked oatmeal in my Magic Bullet and blend just a little. This gblended grainsh trick really helps all the flavors to meld together.
