Just last week I made a delicious discovery. My boyfriend and I were wandering in downtown DC where we stumbled into The Corner Bakery. Apparently it's a chain and I had no idea! Shame on me because it was fantastic. To paint a picture of this restaurant to those who are not familar with it.. I'll say this: if Starbucks and Panera Bread had a love child, The Corner Bakery would be it. Does that clear things up?
Anyways, I ordered chilled oatmeal. CHILLED!? Who chills oatmeal? Wouldn't that insult the Quaker Man?... but you know what? These cold oats (mixed with yogurt, bananas, cranberries, apples and other yum yums) WAS AMAZING. I can easily say it was in the Top 5 of my favorite breakfasts. How could I've been so naive? I'm embaraased to say the least.
CEREAL FACT ALERT:
According to Quaker, the "Quaker Man" was the first registered trademark for a breakfast cereal... in 1877!
As homange to the Quaker Man, I've created my own cold oats recipe. You only need 3 main ingredients which makes it so easy that a caveman could do it!
Ander's Super Simple Overnight Oatmeal
what you'll need:
1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 c greek or plain yogurt (I use flavored yogurt to give the oats some zip!)
1/2 c almond milk or any other milk
(if you want to make a larger batch, just make sure the measurements are about equal; ie. if 1 cup oats then 1 cup of milk and yogurt... just eye ball it )
Add-ins:
walnuts (check)
apples (double check)
bananas
cranberries
what to do:
mix all the ingredients together well, cover, then place in the refridgerator overnight! Follow the pictures for a step-by-step:
REFRIDGERATE for 12 hours AND....
BAM. Welcome to Heaven in your mouth. Enjoy!
