overnight pineapple oats

Warning: This is an oatmeal post from a girl who does NOT like oatmeal.

This recipe is from Lorna Sass' Short-Cut Vegan, a fantastic little cookbook I got from my friend Christy this year. I don't normally like oatmeal, but this recipe totally has me hooked. Her version called for a couple of items that we didn't have in our pantry, so here is my version of Lorna's overnight pineapple oats:

* 3 cups oats

* 1 cup pineapple chopped up with juice and all

* 1 1/2 cups soy milk (it was about half rice and half soy)

* 1/2 teaspoon ish cinnamon

* A dash of salt

Combine everything in a glass bowl, cover, and let sit overnight. In the morning, throw in some sliced bananas and you're ready to go! My roommate liked his helping warmed, but I actually preferred it served cold, in a cup, devoured in the car while running late to work. It's light, nutritious, and the pineapple and banana are so nice first thing in the morning. It also makes a ton of food, so there's plenty for the whole week. I might make this one OFTEN :)
