Here’s my unsolicited recipe for overnight oats, you sweet, fiber-deficient lemmies:
1/4 cup steel cut oats, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, a glob of honey, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 cup of milk, then in the morning add 1/4 cup crushed walnuts and a ton of blueberries.
For anyone wonfering this seems to be ~8g of fiber (plus ~19440g for one ton of blueberries) based on this database, which seems to source basic data from the USDA.
I just struggle with finishing my ton of blueberries before they spoil :(
Here's my muffin recipe, but you can really omit the applesauce and use pretty much any fruit you like for flavor. Do keep the bananas though or the texture will be really wrong. It's good with a tbsp of chia seeds added, oats added, etc. I make my own yogurt and when I make cheese out of it I replace all the liquids (except oil) with the leftover whey and they come out gloriously soft and fluffy that way. Whole Wheat flour is really high calorie though so I'm open to suggestions for something to replace it with if anyone has any ideas.
Long story short I've messed with this recipe in so many ways and it has turned out great every time except the time I didn't have bananas and uses avocado instead. It's very forgiving so do it your way.
Muffin recipe
2 ripe mashed bananas
1 chopped apple
Flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax, 2.5 tbsp water, mix and let set while you prepare the other ingredients)
1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
1/4 to 1/2 C oat or soy milk or cow milk or whey
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C wheat bran
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 tbsp chia seeds
You can sub oat bran for wheat bran if you can find anyone selling it.
I hate when recipes mix units. How many cups are a ton?
I know, right? Let me help you out with that.
A ton is 907 kg approximately, and the weight of a cup of blueberries, while varying, is around 148 g or 0.148 kg.
That means the above recipe calls for around 6128 cups of blueberries. And at 3.6 g per cup of blueberries that's ~22000 g of fiber or 628 times your recommended daily intake for men, or 880 for women!
I kind of feel like it would be a smidge too blueberry-y.
About 6,130.
I can't seem to get it together to do the night before, so I make morning oats
I normally make a few portions at once since imo they have better texture anyway if you give them two+ days to absorb moisture. I try to make another portion every day, but since I have a few in the fridge it gives me breathing room if I’m feeling lazy any particular day.
I've been doing: 1/2 cup old fashioned oats 1 cup flavored kefir 1 Tbsp chia 1 Tbsp ground flax As many blueberries as I can cram in with the rest in a 1 pint mason jar
It's... Fine. I've been considering adding half Greek yogurt and half kefir, but I'm already desperate for more sugar in the recipe.
Maybe a splash of honey will be my next step
Those blueberries will make you shit something fierce.
Too much effort.
do you need chia seeds for overnight oats?
No, but they are a nice addition if you like them with the added benefit of more fiber, oils, and minerals. They do help thicken everything up, so if you aren’t going to add them maybe use less milk unless you like it soupy.
