    Overnight soaking cuts down on prep time in the morning, so you can enjoy a healthy and hearty, cooked breakfast, even after hitting the snooze button.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup dry oats
    • 2 1/2 cups water
    • 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
    • 1/4 cup walnuts, lightly chopped (or pecans)

    Directions

    1. Wash hands with soap and water.
    2. Put all ingredients in a cooking pot and cover. Let sit overnight in refrigerator.
    3. In the morning, put on a stove burner and cook on medium heat until simmering, then turn on low and heat for 10 to 15 minutes more or less depending on type of oats -- quick (5 minutes), regular, or steel cut.
    4. Serve warm with a little milk (or milk alternative), a drizzle of maple syrup, and a side of fresh fruit, if desired.
