TOPPING & SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
The great thing about this low carb overnight oats recipe is that it can be customized with your favorite add-in.
- Nut or seed butter: Almond butter, cashew butter, pumpkin butter, sunflower seed butter and or peanut butter add that savory-nutty flavor and a certain creaminess.
- Milk: Use your favorite milk you like or have on hand. To make overnight oats vegan, we use almond milk but coconut milk or cashew milk will work just fine.
- Fruit: Have fun with your toppings. Add low carb fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or blackberries. Add them directly into the mason jar or toss them on directly on top of the oats when you’re ready to eat.
- Sweetener: Leave out or use any low carb liquid sugar substitute or sweeter such as monk fruit, SWERVE or erythritol will work.
- Nuts and seeds: sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts or pecans
- Toasted coconut chips
- Cocao nibs or no sugar chocolate chips, we like Lily’s
CAN OATMEAL BE FROZEN?
If you make a large batch of oatmeal, divide them into individual servings in a muffin tin then place the pan in the freezer until they are hard.
Pop them out and store the oatmeal in a large zipper-lock plastic bag or an airtight container in the freezer.
In the morning, reheat in the microwave or oven when you’re ready for breakfast.
