Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Rolled oats

  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1/4 cup Sweetened vanilla coconut milk

  • 1 tbsp Peanut butter for topping

Instructions
 

  • Soak oats and quinoa in water with salt in a small pot. Place in refrigerator overnight.

Notes

If you don't remember to soak the oats overnight, it's not a huge deal. It just adds five minutes to the cook time! The only added benefit to soaking the grains ahead of time is that the body absorbs their nutrients more easily.
