Key Lime Pie In a single day Oats

The thought for this recipe began once I got here house with three completely different key lime yogurts to pattern one week: Wegmans Key Lime, Icelandic Provisions Key Lime Skyr and Chobani Key Lime Greek Yogurt. I loved all of them, however I made a decision to make use of the Icelandic Provisions yogurt on this recipe as a result of I discover it to be the purest of the three! Noosa or siggi’s key lime yogurt could be good choices, too. (Noosa’s may be my all-time favourite to easily eat by itself).

However in the event you desire conventional in a single day oats—or just don’t need to soiled your blender—you’ll be able to stir every thing collectively and go away the oats entire. I’ll word that mixing it releases extra of the beta-glucans within the oats and the following day the consistency is stickier than if the oats had simply soaked entire. So word that based mostly by yourself texture preferences!

After which there’s the crumble. I LOVE a crumble. The bottom of this recipe may be very true to traditional in a single day oats, whereas many of the key lime pie magic comes from the buttery graham crumble, whipped cream (!), and lime zest on prime.

I doubled it and nonetheless went again for extra midway by means of my bowl to provide it an entire new layer of crunch. It’s simply that good.
