TIPS
- Rinse Oats: Rinse oats under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch and ensure a smoother texture.
- Toast Walnuts: Toast walnuts lightly in a dry pan over low heat for a deeper nutty flavour.
- Adjust Consistency: If the oatmeal becomes too thick, add extra plant milk or water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Stir in Honey: Stir honey in after simmering to preserve its natural enzymes and flavour.
- Use Frozen Berries: For frozen berries, scatter them on top, so they’ll defrost as you enjoy your meal.
VARIATIONS
- Protein Boost: Stir in 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder post-cooking.
- Tropical Twist: Replace berries with diced mango and sprinkle with coconut flakes.
- Apple-Cinnamon Version: Use diced apple instead of berries, so add ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.
- Nut-Free: Substitute walnuts with pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free version.
- Vegan Sweetener: Use maple syrup or agave in place of honey.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator: Store leftover cooked oatmeal in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Freezing: Freeze single portions in freezer-safe containers or jars, leaving room for expansion. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat.
