Overnight Oatmeal

This is a simple way to make a delicious, healthy breakfast by preparing it the night before so it will be ready to eat in the morning.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: none
Servings: 1

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
1 cup almond milk
1-2 tablespoons raisins or chopped dates
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a container and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.  The next morning either enjoy the cereal cold or microwave until warmed. Stir in some seasonal fresh berries or top with sliced banana, if desired.

Variation:  I like to add an extra 1/2 cup of almond milk and 1/2 cup of cooked farro to this recipe...the farro ads a chewy, nuttiness to the oatmeal that is really satisfying.
