Use this Chai Latte Oatmeal recipe as your base and play with toppings and extras to really make it your own! <\/p>\n\n\n\n To reduce the fat content, use different milk or sub with water and to make extra luxurious you could replace about 1\/2 cup with heavy cream instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you end up with any leftovers, transform them into these Leftover Oatmeal Muffins,<\/a> or alternatively, if just looking for more things to do with the oats in the cupboard, check out these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Makes: 2 Servings – 1 Cup Oats (rolled\/old fashioned) To top (Optional): Start your day the right way with a big bowl of this warming Vanilla Chai Latte oatmeal. This bowl is full of warming spices, comforting oats, sweet notes of vanilla and a little kick of caffeine – before you’ve even thought about toppings!

– Maple Syrup: A dash of maple syrup ups the sweetness without adding too much extra sugar
– Nuts: Walnuts and pecans work especially well with these oats, but pistachios, hazelnuts and almonds would all be dreamy too!
– Fruit: Pictured I’ve used frozen berries, but bananas, apples, pears, or any other berries work incredibly well. For a real treat, caramelise your fruit before adding to the bowl!
– Nut Butter: Peanut, almond, cashew – any you like! All add a little extra protein and fat to really keep you full until lunchtime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Vanilla](\"https:\/\/tasting-thyme.com\/staging\/6788\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_3615_jpg.jpg\")
