  3. Add 1 cup GF steel cut oats
  4. Add 1 tbsp maple syrup

  8. Use whisk to mix all together and thicken. Turn heat to low and place lid over pot. Check every 5 minutes until thickness is desired consistency and add more liquid if desired (I personally like them chewy, so as soon as they seem to have absorbed the liquid – they’re good for me!) Let sit for 5 extra minutes.
  9. Top with nut butter of choice and any other toppings (i like coconut flakes). Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Swaps can include:

Chocolate protein instead of vanilla. Egg whites work for protein as well.

Any type of nut butter on top

Addition of vanilla extract to sweeten

Honey instead of maple syrup

Espresso instead of cold brew

Old fashioned oats instead of steel cut (would be faster)
