admin Did you know you can soak steel-cut oats overnight just like you can with rolled oats? If you’ve never tried overnight steel-cut oats, it is a breakfast game changer! The texture is soft, yet chewier than overnight oats made with rolled oats, and way more satisfying, in my oatmeal-loving opinion.
To make this breakfast even more magical, you can meal prep five in a row (or even seven if you want to do the entire week). Just add all the ingredients to the jar with the milk of your choice. It’ll look really runny, but don’t worry — the oats and chia seeds will soak it right up, and it’ll look like oatmeal in the morning.
This recipe has mashed banana and chopped dates for natural sweetness, and I also added fresh berries in the morning. It was sweet enough for me, but feel free to add a drizzle of maple syrup or some chocolate chips if that’s how you like your oatmeal.
You can modify this recipe to whatever flavor explosion you want in your mouth. Use chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla, or add pecans and golden raisins instead of almonds and dates. Not a fan of chia seeds? Use hemp seeds instead. This is your breakfast, so get creative!
