DIY Breakfast: Dorm Style

#1 Overnight Oats!
I just tried out an awesome recipe from Dana, the Minimalistic Baker.
Let me just say, I love her site http://minimalistbaker.com because she has so many rad ideas of recipes that require >10 ingredients, one bowl, and >30 minutes to prepare!

The first recipe I tried out from her site was the Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. Let me just say, it was DELICIOUS. A perfect breakfast for a college student without a stove and minimal food! If you attend GCU, all the ingredients you need for this recipe can be found on campus (yay!)
Below is the recipe taken from the author's website, give it a look and try it out! 

...and the best part.... this recipe is vegan & gluten free!

EASY peanut butter overnight oats made with just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes prep time. Naturally sweetened, vegan, gluten free and so delicious.

Author: Minimalist Baker

Recipe type: Breakfast

Cuisine: Vegan, Gluten Free

Serves: 1

Ingredients

OATS

• 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk (DIY recipe)
• 3/4 Tbsp (9 g) chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp (32 g) natural salted peanut butter or almond butter (creamy or crunchy)
• 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup (or sub coconut sugar, organic brown sugar, or stevia to taste)
• 1/2 cup (45 g) gluten free rolled oats

TOPPINGS

• Sliced banana, strawberries or raspberries
• Flaxseed meal or additional chia seed
• Granola

Instructions

1. To a mason jar or small bowl add almond milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, and maple syrup (or other sweetener) and stir with a spoon to combine. The peanut butter doesn't need to be completely mixed with the almond milk (doing so leaves swirls of peanut butter to enjoy the next day).
2. Add oats and stir a few more times, then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats have been moistened and are immersed in almond milk.
3. Cover securely with a lid or plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
4. The next day, open and enjoy as is, or garnish with desired toppings (see options above).
5. Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours.

*I used Laura Scudders nutty natural peanut butter in my overnight oats, but stole my friend Savannah's Jif for a quick picture because it looked artsy) 

For my first serving of this peanut butter overnight oats meal, I topped it off with banana and agave nectar.  I am so in love with this recipe, I'm just upset I didn't try it sooner! So I definitely implore you to give this a try, it is a meal that makes you feel super-human. 
Again for all of my GCU peeps, all ingredients I found at the lopes marts around campus! 
Hope you enjoy and go follow Minimalistic Baker for some amazing recipes like this one! :)
