Ingredients
Directions
The night before:
- Mix the oats, milk, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a medium-size glass bowl, jar, or container.
- Stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning:
- Remove the oatmeal from the refrigerator and divide it among 2 bowls.
- Top each bowl with 1⁄4 cup yogurt, 1⁄4 cup fresh fruit, one tablespoon of nuts, and drizzle with honey.
*Note: Honey is not considered vegan because it is a byproduct produced by bees from flower nectar. However, many people who follow a plant-based diet for health reasons choose to include honey in their diet. If you prefer a vegan alternative, try maple syrup or agave nectar instead.
