Recipe UPDATE: More Flavors of Refrigerator Oatmeal

I’ve been getting alot of positive feedback about the no-cook fridge oatmeal (be sure to check out the original post & flavors) – so decided that each time I make a batch with new flavors, I’ll post the recipe.  SO GLAD that folks are trying this and incorporating some delicious, nutritious, and CLEAN* yummy goodness into their meal plans.  I would LOVE to hear some of your flavor suggestions!

I thought of some of my very favorite foods/snacks/treats, and based this round of flavors on them.  Not surprising I ended up with two that included chocolate!  This has made me look very forward to my mornings 🙂

Just use the base recipe (found HERE) and add the additional ingredients. all measurements are approximate – I don’t measure anything!!

*please note: the use of flavored extracts is a personal preference to boost flavor and is not required*

 

   STRAWBERRIES DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE

  • 1 TBSP cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen. NO SUGAR ADDED)
  • smidgen of strawberry extract
  • agave nectar (to taste – about 1 tsp)

CHOCOLATE COVERED RAISINS

  • 1 TBSP cocoa powder
  • 1 TBSP raisins
  • 1 TBSP dark chocolate chips
  • agave nectar (to taste – about 1 tsp)

*This one is not 100% “clean” – only due to the chocolate chips. You can forgo them if you want…I just like layers of flavor & texture.

PEACH-PECAN PIE
