Elderberry Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1 cup old fashioned thick rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cup filtered milk or water
- A pinch of salt
- 3-4 tablespoons elderberry syrup
- Optional toppings: diced strawberries, cashew pieces, blueberries
Instructions:
Put all the ingredients except the elderberry syrup in a bowl or mason jar in the order listed. Putting the small seeds in first helps to keep them from floating to the top when you add the liquid. Put in the refrigerator overnight. You can also put it out on a counter for a 3-4 hours before you want to eat it. The probiotics should multiply at room temperature. If possible, soak for at least 8 hours to allow the phytates to break down. When you're ready to serve, swirl in elderberry syrup, which I think tastes better not fully mixed in. If you've used a less spicy syrup, you want to add a little cinnamon or ginger to jazz up the flavor. Serve warm or cold. Add toppings if desired.
