Overnight Oats, cold cereal


I thought I'd posted this recipe as a standalone post, but it must just be in one of the "Cooking Ahead" posts, so here it is.   My son loves this as an alternative to hot oatmeal in the mornings, and it's very easy to customize depending on your taste. 


Ingredients:

1/2 cup oats (any kind, we use old fashioned or quick cooking)
1/2 cup + almond milk or other plant milk
1/4 cup raisins
optional, a dash of your favorite sweetener

add-ins:
cinnamon
vanilla
crushed walnuts or pecans
dried fruits
cocoa
and, so on...

Directions: 

Add the cereal, milks, raisins, and any flavorings into the bowl, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator overnight.   Eat cold or microwave for 1-2 minutes and enjoy warm.
