Currently trying to ignore the fact that the left pecan in my photo is blurry AF because I was hungry AF and didn’t want my coworkers to be distracted by my growling stomach for longer than necessary.
Which could be heard over the unimpressive Justin Bieber remix blaring in the background, by the way.
But once the first spoonful of festively flavored holiday oats hit my tongue, everything was right in the world.
This miracle on 8th street lasted a good 4.72 minutes until my bowl was licked clean.
Well I didn’t actually lick my bowl… so much for cowering in a cubicle corner ha.
This recipe requires very few ingredients, although you will need a bit of patience.
You want those oats to soak up alllll that noggy goodness!
So, all you have to do is toast your rolled oats in a dry skillet until fragrant and nutty, then stir those guys with coconut nog and a nice pinch of sea salt before shoving them in the fridge to chill out and plump up for at least 4 hours.
Once your oats are nice and tender from soaking, give them a stir, then top them off with toasted pecans, ground nutmeg, and seasonal fresh fruit!
P.S. If you can’t get your hands on coconut nog, soy nog would probably work too, give it a shot! Of Henny! Haha just kidding…
P.P.S. Make sure your oats are gluten-free if you’re wanting a gluten-free treat.
P.P.P.S. I used pomegranate which was tasty. Diced pear or apple would be nice as well! Or be a little naughty and skip your serving of fruit hehe.
P.P.P.P.S. Toasting your oats is not necessary, it just makes them taste more oaty!
