Overnight Blueberry Oatmeal

Make the night before. We actually had it for dinner on a busy night, and then again for breakfast the next day.

Overnight Blueberry Oatmeal
1 1/2 c rinsed steel cut oats
1/2 t ginger
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t sea salt
1 t baking powder
dash of vanilla or almond extract
4 c unsweetened almond milk
2 c unsweetened coconut milk
(or just 6 cups of your favorite dairy-free milk)
sweetener of your choice. I added raw honey, about 1/4-1/2 c
1 1/2 c fresh blueberries
1/4 c dried blueberries
1/4 c unsweetened shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x13 pan and combine all ingredients except last 3. Carefully stir in remaining ingredients and pour into pan. Bake for 1 hour. Remove and let cool, then place in fridge overnight (mixture will thicken overnight).

Blueberry Sauce
2 c fresh blueberries
dash of water
Heat over medium high heat until it sizzles, and turn down the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes, mashing blueberries against side of pan.

Serve oatmeal with a bit of milk and sauce. Add any other toppings you would like (i.e. nuts, chia seeds, coconut, etc.)
