Overnight Lentils & Oats

Directions

1. Place lentils in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cool running water until water runs clear.
2. In a large foodservice container or mixing bowl, combine lentils, oats, milk, yogurt, syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Stir well to fully hydrate contents.
3. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight (up to 72 hours). The lentils will fully hydrate and soften without cooking, creating a spoonable texture.
4. Stir mixture to redistribute before portioning. Adjust consistency with a splash of milk if needed. Portion 1 cup (250 mL) per serving and optionally top with fruit, seeds, a drizzle with honey or create a customizable station for your guests. Serve chilled.
