- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch salt, minced walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl or storage container, stirring together to make an even mixture. (You can add the mixture to a blender and blend smooth to make a smoother final consistency, if desired.)
