Directions

Mix the oats, milk, honey, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a glass bowl or container. Stir well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, remove the oatmeal from the refrigerator and divide it among 2 bowls.
Top each bowl with 1⁄4 cup yogurt, 1⁄4 cup fresh fruit, one tablespoon of almonds and drizzle with honey.

Chef Tips

You can also divide this recipe in half after mixing the first four ingredients by dishing into individual containers. Add the yogurt, fruit, almond and honey on top and be ready to grab and go in the morning.

For added fiber, substitute steel cut oats for the rolled oats and allow at least 12 hours to sit in the refrigerator before eating.

Mash 1⁄2 banana into oatmeal to omit honey. Stir it in the morning just before eating so it doesn’t blacken.

To toast almonds: Pour into a dry pan, set over medium high heat and keep shaking the pan every 30 seconds so as not to burn the almonds. When they are nicely browned pour into a glass bowl, do not leave in the pan as they will continue to cook and may burn.
