With back to school and fall approaching, we desire healthy, filling meals that don’t take a lot of time. By meal prepping some instant oats, not only can you easily customize different flavors, but have a healthier meal option ready to go. Just add hot water! We have a tasty vegan base recipe to share that yields a creamy bowl of oats. Don’t like coconut? Substitute regular powdered milk and omit shredded coconut.
Step one:
Add oats, brown sugar, chia seeds, flax, coconut milk powder, and shredded coconut to a food processor or blender. Combine until crumbly and well mixed with oats blended into smaller pieces for better absorption.
Step two:
Add your oat mixture into a bowl or jar, and top with finely chopped dried fruits like apricots, raisins, prunes, pears, and/or add finely chopped nuts. You could also add some shredded dark chocolate to your oats!
Step three:
Add boiling water to desired consistency, stir, and let sit for 1-2 minutes until water has been absorbed. Oats thicken considerably, so you may have to add a little more water or milk after a minute.
Meal Prep Master: For easy meal prep for the week, multiply the recipe to make your ideal number of servings, split into containers, and add your toppings of choice to change up your flavors!
