Overnight oats is one of the easiest ways to make oatmeal part of your dietary routine. Old fashioned oatmeal is nutritious, high in fiber, lowers cholesterol, and I credit oatmeal with helping me keep my weight down this year. I make enough overnight oats to last the week, and I pair it with fresh fruit, ginger, walnuts, and flax seed.

I use old fashioned oats, but CG sometimes uses steel cut oats. I prefer the old fashioned kind, but either kind will work using the same method.You can simply use oats and milk (or any soaking liquid) for the ultimate plain oatmeal, but I also like to add fresh minced ginger, cinnamon, and a dash of salt to make my overnight oats base. I call it a base, because even though it is quite flavorful, I almost always add other ingredients when Im ready to eat, depending on my mood and whats available.You really dont have to measure any ingredients, just be sure to add a ratio of ginger and cinnamon to your tastes, and the liquid you add will be just enough to cover the oat mixture.Fill a sealable container almost to the top with dry old fashioned oatmeal; leave about 1 inch at the top of the container. Mix in minced ginger and cinnamon to taste, plus a dash of salt if you like. You can see in the recipe video that I prefer quite a bit of fresh ginger. Raw fresh ginger can be quite strong, but soaking overnight with the oats mellows this healthy root considerably.Once all the dry ingredients are mixed together well, pour in the liquid until the oats are just completely covered. I prefer to use almond milk or soy milk, which keeps quite well with the oats and lasts about 1 week in the fridge. You can use dairy milk, but it will not keep as long, so use almond or soy milk if making a batch of overnight oats for the week. You can also use just plain water. Sometimes Ill use half water and half almond milk.Seal the container and store in the fridge. You can do this late at night, and the oats will still be ready for an early breakfast. It only takes about 4 hours of soaking time for the oats to be perfect.
