In my quest to bring fall to a subtropical island, I wanted to created some yummy fall flavored oats. But, not just any fall flavored oats, some unique flavors that I had never seen before:
1. Chai Spiced
2. Zucchini Bread
3. Spiced Pear
4. Salted Caramel Apple
5. Pecan Pie
These flavors bring all the aspects of fall you love; cinnamon, warm flavors, and baked goods. All recipes can be made into stove-top or microwave oats or even overnight oats.
I wanted to create some flavors that weren't the typical fall flavors, instead I wanted something unique and fun that everyone would enjoy creating for a cozy fall morning or even breakfast on the go!
For the stove top:
1. Heat plant milk or water on the stove until simmering
2. Add other "wet" ingredients (pumpkin, vanilla, applesauce, etc)
3. While you are waiting for the liquid to simmer, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl (oats, spices, seeds, powders)
4. Once the liquid and other wet ingredients are combined and simmering, add the dry ingredients and stir well to combine
5. Cook your oats down to the consistency you desire, keeping in mind that they will thicken as they cool
6. Top your oats with recommendations from the recipe or with whatever toppings you enjoy
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
For overnight oats:
1. Add dry ingredients to your jar or container (oats, spices, powders, seeds, nuts, etc). Close the lid and shake the jar to combine
2. In a separate container, mix together you wet ingredients until well combined (water, plant milk, sweetener, vanilla, etc)
3. Pour the liquids into the dry mixture and stir well to combine, making sure you get all the dry mixture from the bottom incorporated
4. Top with whatever toppings your recipe suggests or add whatever toppings you enjoy
5. Refrigerate for 4-12 hours enjoy at home or on the go!
