Overnight Maple Oatmeal

Makes 6 servings

Add this to your growing collection of oatmeal recipes. Simpler than instant oatmeal, Overnight Maple Oatmeal is a gut-health superhero! Oats are an incredible source of prebiotics, which keep gut bacteria healthy. They also contain both soluble and insoluble fibers, and fresh oats have a high level of complex carbs. These starches can lower blood sugar levels and benefit digestion.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup skim milk
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Fresh fruits of your choosing
1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
½ cup chopped walnuts, toasted

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, milk, syrup and vanilla. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
2. Just before serving, chop fruit and stir in with the yogurt. Garnish with nuts or pumpkin seeds.
