Simple and delicious breakfast.

Love love love this. I made two batches so that two breakfasts were accommodated. Delicious, and so easy to make. Reminded me a lot of muesli from the 70's.

p.s. I used all plant-based milk - no water.

I make mine in a 12 oz mason jar and use oat milk. I heat it in the microwave in the morning because I prefer my oatmeal hot, not chilled. Omitting the maple syrup and adding peaches or raisins gives enough of a sweet taste for me. This is a versatile recipe I'm happy to add to my recipe book.

Paula

Great, used 1/2 of of the maple syrup.

Cindy

Tried this last night and ate it this morning. It was delicious. Topped it with banana and shredded coconut-flakes. Will make this many times I guess.

Love this recipe as a good vegan base! Some have yogurt added, but this one is just perfect for a fresh start to the day.
