Information
Ingredients
- Oat flakes6 tablespoon
- Buttermilk500 ml
- Seeds1 teaspoon
- Banana1 piece
- Nuts1 tablespoon
Directions
Lazy oatmeal in a jar is made with regular oats (not instant oats), soaked in kefir, yogurt, milk, or buttermilk (you can also add cottage cheese or sweet curd mixture). Why is this oatmeal breakfast with kefir good: (1) we don't waste time cooking, (2) we add healthy ingredients, (3) we choose any toppings, like in a restaurant! You can add anything to the oatmeal in the jar: nuts, dried fruits, poppy seeds, berries, and fruits. Do you like chocolate? No problem! Add a little cocoa and enjoy chocolate oatmeal that is similar to mousse. Bran (wheat or oat), flaxseeds or chia seeds will enrich the already valuable properties of oat flakes. Don't forget about classic combinations: apple and cinnamon, cherry and chocolate crumbs, raspberry and vanilla, banana and nuts. All you need is a jar with a wide neck and a capacity of at least 400 ml, oat flakes, and kefir (or other dairy component). The rest of the additions are a matter of taste. I will show you my version of making lazy oatmeal in a jar. Let's start preparing it in the evening for breakfast. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of oat flakes on the bottom.
Add flax seeds.
Pour kefir or fermented milk into the jar and mix the contents.
Add chopped nuts (I chose walnuts) to the oatmeal in the jar.
Cut the banana into small cubes and place it on top of the nuts. Close the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, you will have a ready breakfast of oatmeal with kefir. It takes minimum time to prepare and provides maximum benefit! It doesn't have to be eaten cold. You can heat it in the microwave at a low power until room temperature or make it warmer. Optionally, you can stir it again to evenly distribute the banana and nut pieces in the jar. As you can see, I didn't add sugar because the oatmeal is already sweet due to the presence of bananas. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. It can be frozen for up to a month (just make sure the jar isn't filled to the brim, leave room for expansion during freezing). Now you know exactly how to save time on breakfast instead of boring oatmeal. And not just breakfast! It's also a great snack. Take the jar of oatmeal with kefir to work or workout for an energizing boost!
