Step 1

The night before, combine oats, chia seeds, rye flakes, lemon juice and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Cover and soak overnight.

Step 2

The next day, add 1½ cups water, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, ginger, salt and vanilla to the oats. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, stir occasionally and let simmer until thick, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in your sweetener of choice, starting with 3 tbsp. Taste and add more if needed to reach your desired sweetness. Spoon into bowls and top with any desired additional ingredients.
