Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup steel cut oats, soaked in a bowl of water overnight and drained
- 1 tsp virgin coconut oil
- 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk

- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Toppings:

Instructions
- Warm the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the soaked and drained oats. Toast the oats in the oil for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.
