Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or container.
- Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve cold directly from the refrigerator.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting almond milk for half and half or using maple syrup instead of brown sugar. If you prefer a warmer dish, gently heat the oatmeal before serving. You can also mix in chopped nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrition. If you're short on time, try preparing this Swiss Oatmeal with pre-sliced apples to streamline the process.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Swiss Oatmeal in individual bowls topped with additional sliced apples, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey. It pairs wonderfully with a side of yogurt or a handful of nuts for added protein. Enjoy it as part of a brunch spread alongside dishes like Tom Clark'S Sweet Potato Biscuits.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The oatmeal may thicken as it sits, so you can stir in a splash of milk or water before serving to loosen it up. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change significantly upon thawing.
