Ingredients:
1 cup cooked oatmeal
1/8 teaspoon sun-dried sea salt
1 cup boiling purified water
21 grams unsweetened protein powder
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon white stevia extract powder or 4 drops stevia extract liquid
1 teaspoon almond or walnut oil (or 9 almonds or 3 macadamia nuts, raw or lightly toasted, chopped coarsely)
Instructions:
1. Add oats and sea salt to a wide-mouth thermos bottle. Add boiling water. Immediately cover tightly with a lid. Allow to sit overnight.
2. In the morning, stir thoroughly with a wide wooden spoon and transfer to a large cereal bowl. Add protein powder, nutmeg, vanilla, and stevia. Stir well to dissolve lumps. Top with oil or chopped nuts. Serve immediately or return to thermos bottle to serve later.
Variation (Crock-Pot cooking)
1. Just before bedtime, add rolled or steel-cut oats and sea salt to a mini-Crock-Pot. (Do NOT use a large Crock-Pot for a small volume of cereal. Unit must be at least half-full or too much water will evaporate during cooking.) Add cold water. Set dial to the lowest setting.
2. Cover and cook all night. In the morning, turn off heat. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Transfer to a large cereal bowl. Add protein powder, nutmeg, vanilla, and stevia. Stir well to dissolve lumps. If soy protein is used, you may need to add additional hot water, a few tablespoons at a time, to create a smooth mixture. Top with oil or chopped nuts. Serve immediately or transfer to thermos bottle to serve later.
