I've always loved oats. But growing up, I only ate them one of two ways - cooked up hot with butter, brown sugar or whatever I was desiring that day - and the other way was in an oatmeal cookie. I never thought of eating oats cold until I tried soaked oats by Zen Monkey. It's a blend of yogurt, soaked oats and fruit available in the yogurt section of Whole Foods. The apple flavor was delicious. So I did some research and recreated the recipe at home in a mason jar. This cold oat porridge has become one of my favorite go-to breakfast recipes. You can make it quickly at night before you go to bed and in the morning you have a delicious and healthy breakfast to get you going.
I will be posting a more traditional Apple Oat Porridge recipe soon, but for now here's one made with an exotic fruit. Learn more about White Sapote.
WHITE SAPOTE OAT PORRIDGE RECIPE
Ingredients:
2 Small White Sapote Fruits (diced small)
1 Cup Instant Oats (I recommend Quaker Oats)
1/2 Cup Plain Yogurt
1/2 Cup Apple Juice (you may need to add more depending on the consistency of yogurt and the consistency you prefer for your porridge)
1/4 Cup Shredded Coconut
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt
Squeeze of Lemon
Method:
Combine Yogurt, Apple Juice, Vanilla Extract in Mason Jar. Stir until smooth. Stir in Oats then stir in White Sapote Fruit. Add a pinch of salt and squeeze of lemon to taste. If you feel it's too thick add a little more juice or water. Put the lid on the jar and give it a shake. Let sit overnight in refrigerator. Oats will swell up up with flavor. The mason jar makes it convenient to take out a serving or take it on the go. Keeps up to 5 days in refrigerator.
You can always substitute Apples for the White Sapote. You can omit the coconut and vanilla and add cinnamon or nutmeg instead. I like to try other little additives too. You can add things like raisins, dried cranberries, other dried fruits, slice almonds, chopped walnuts or chia seeds.
