Hey there, breakfast lovers!

Let’s dive in!
Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
Gluten-free rolled oats can be replaced with quinoa flakes for a different texture and added protein. Use the same amount and adjust soaking time as quinoa flakes may absorb liquid faster. Milk substitutes can vary widely; almond milk or oat milk work well for those avoiding dairy or coconut. Adjust sweetness as needed since these options may be less creamy than coconut milk. Maple syrup can be substituted with monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a low-carb option. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as these alternatives are much sweeter than maple syrup. For those avoiding animal products, replace collagen peptides with chia seeds or ground flaxseed to add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Use 1-2 tablespoons of seeds and increase liquid slightly to compensate for their absorbency.

Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (for sweetness, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats (I like Bob’s Red Mill brand)
- 1/2 cup milk or milk substitute (almond milk works well)
- 1/2 scoop collagen peptides
- 1/4 tsp spices (cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice is great)
Step 1: Prepare the Mix
In a small container, such as a mason jar, combine oats, milk, your choice of sweetener, spices, and collagen peptides.
Stir gently to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed.
The mason jar makes it convenient to store and transport, if needed.
Step 2: Refrigerate Overnight
Cover the container, ensuring it is sealed tightly, and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
This allows the oats to soak and the flavors to meld together, creating a delicious, ready-to-eat breakfast.
Step 3: Heat and Serve
In the morning, remove the container from the refrigerator and uncover it.
If you prefer your oats warm, gently heat them in the microwave or stove.
Otherwise, enjoy them cold for a refreshing treat.
Step 4: Add Toppings and Enjoy
Before serving, add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds.
Customize your oats to your taste, and enjoy the delightful, nutritious meal you’ve prepared!
