Before we get into the list, there is a base recipes that all the other recipes build off of. This base is 1 cup of oats, 1-1.5 cups of liquid (almond milk, soy milk, yogurt) and 1 teaspoon of a sweetener. You can adjust these amounts to your own liking but just to get started, there you are!

1. Chocolate Peanut Butter

This first recipe is for all my Reese’s lovers out there! When you finished with the base, add in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and either a tablespoon of chocolate sauce or throw in some chocolate pieces, or do both I will not judge you.
