Will Smith is one of the hosts of Will and Brad Made a Tech Pod, which I am a Patreon member of, and is one of my favorite podcasts. In a recent episode, Will mentioned this post in his shitty.blog blog about making oatmeal in the rice cooker. I have been trying to make good oatmeal for years and could never figure out how. I used this as an excuse for getting a new, and larger Zojirushi rice cooker, which happens to come with a special setting for oatmeal.
I make it exactly like Will describes, and sometimes I add just a bit more water or oat or almond milk to get it a bit creamier.
Some of the combos I use for flavoring:
- Fresh strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries.
- Walnuts
- Cinnamon and apple.
- Hemp, flax, or chia seed.
Overnight Oats
Ingredients:
- Rolled oats
- Almond milk
- Maple or date syrup
- Chia seed
- Optionally, yogurt. I like the Greek yogurt from Trade Joe.
- Optionally, dried berries from Trader Joe.
I use roughly a 1:1 ratio of oats to almond. Throw it all together in a jar, mix it, and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
