Ingredients

  • ½ cup Old fashioned Oats
  • ¼ cup fonio
  • 1 cup Almond Milk
  • ½ tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • ¼ cup trail mix

Instructions

  • Add oats, fonio, almond milk, cinnamon, cardamom, and honey to a glass bowl or large glass jar. Mix well with a spoon. Cover with lid or plastic saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove from the fridge, add the trail mix. Eat as is or allow to warm to room temperature.

Notes

  • This recipe was intentionally dairy-free, but you can use your liquid base of choice. Regular dairy milk is perfectly suitable for this recipe, as are other nut-based milks
  • I chose honey as the sweetener in this recipe as I find it works well with the spices used, however maple syrup and agave or even brown sugar are great substitutes.
  • Choose your preferred trail mix. I went for a mix of nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate
