On The Go Overnight Oatmeal Food

OVERNIGHT OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the oats, milk, half-and-half, raisins, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and apple. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Give the mixture a stir and add a bit more milk or half-and-half if it has become too thick. Put a healthy portion in an ovenproof bowl and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with an even layer of granulated sugar. Place under the broiler until the sugar melts and just starts to brown (or you can brown it lightly with a kitchen blowtorch). Serve with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and a little more half-and-half, if desired.

OVERNIGHT OATS

Steps:

• To make a jar, just combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, 2/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons brown sugar or maple syrup and a pinch each of salt and cinnamon in a small jar. Add your mix-ins (see below for some of our favorites), seal the jar and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, just open the jar, stir and add toppings.
• Mix-ins: 1/2 teaspoon orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• Toppings: chopped mango and pomegranate seeds
• Mix-ins: 1 tablespoon sweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
• Toppings: chopped hazelnuts and chocolate
• Mix-ins: 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed) and 1/2 chopped banana
• Toppings: sliced strawberries
