Easy Organic Overnight Oats are really quick to put together. Add your favorite healthy add-ins and toppings for a delightful breakfast or snack! Pull one out of the fridge at any time, zap it in the microwave for a minute or two if you want a hot dish of oatmeal. You can eat them cold, too! Use a smidgen less almond milk for a thicker cold cereal. P.S. Updated recipe to reflect researched ingredients for better health!
However you love your oatmeal is good to go in this easy method! Make up several jars or bowls with lids to have ready in the fridge for busy mornings or any time snacking.

I love oats all ways and use them in many savory recipes. While new research claims the hulls of oats have lectins, cooking greatly reduces this. The trouble with lectins is, they may be responsible for leaky gut. Leaky gut leads to the death of good bacteria called Akkermansia in the lower intestines and colon. The hulls of whole grains, beans, and tomatoes also contain lectins. My recommendation is to use organic unbleached all-purpose flour, soak your beans overnight and rinse well before cooking, and peel & deseed tomatoes. It’s nearly impossible to live 100% organically. Take the supplements that mitigate any damage eating the less than wholesome foods may cause.
Soaking oats overnight does not reduce the number of lectins, but humans and animals have been eating oats for at least 3,000 years. I’m going to keep eating them, but in moderation. Mostly because I’m always trying to stay as low carb as possible. 😊
Have a deliciously great day! 🌞
