Recipe Notes

Stacy’s Notes: I almost always double this recipe, and that gives me about 3-5 servings for my breakfasts for the week. I often add dry muesli from the bulk bin (when I can find it!). If I don’t have chia seeds (and I often do not), I just leave it out and add more flax.

Be sure to mix everything well as you add it, it takes a bit of stirring to get it all combined! I almost always mix the dry ingredients, then fold in the yogurt and finish with the almond milk. Seems to work better for me this way to combine everything 🙂

You can use fresh blueberries or other fruit, or substitute frozen or dried fruit. It’s an easy recipe you can modify to your tastes! I make this mostly in the summer and eat it cold, but you can heat it up in the microwave if you like your oatmeal warm.

Enjoy!
