Since I'm way too hungry in the morning to sit around for 40 minutes to wait for my bowl of oats to cook, or this little hack has changed my life. It turns steel-reduce oats into quick oats,so in less than five minutes, you can sit down to a creamy, or satisfying breakfast that'll withhold you full all morning long.
All you need is some time on Sunday and a freezer. Just make a big batch on the stove and freeze smaller portions using a muffin tin. Pop the little oatmeal pucks into a freezer bag and a week of healthy,fiber-full breakfasts is alert. Related: Healthy Kitchen Hacks
