Notes:
• Make your own pumpkin spice mix: 3 Tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons nutmeg, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves, 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice • I use unsweetened oat milk, but you can choose any dairy or non-dairy alternative. Be sure to use unsweetened varieties to reduce the amount of added sugar. • For additional protein, feel free to add your favorite protein powder, just add additional milk. Alternatively, the morning of you can add nut butter, yogurt, nuts, or seeds for more protein. • If the oatmeal is too thick when you grab it from the fridge in the morning, add an extra splash of milk to get your desired consistency • I only use 1 tablespoon of maple syrup because I don’t like my oatmeal too sweet. But you can always mix in more to reach your desired sweetness. • Easily double or triple the recipe for a large batch and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for the week.
