Recipe from Ricki's Kitchen:

Overnight Oatmeal:  

This is my version of a popular “live” breakfast oatmeal that’s a cinch to make (use raw pumpkin seeds if you prefer it entirely raw). While you can add chopped fresh apple instead of the goji berries, the berries add incredible antioxidant properties and an array of amino acids to keep your kids energized until lunch.  Pumpkin seeds are a great source of zinc, important for healthy immune systems.  

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, preferably organic
1-1/2 cups rice, soy, or almond milk
2 T. raisins
1/2-1 tsp. cinnamon, depending on your taste
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract (optional)
2 T. lightly toasted pumpkin seeds
2 T. goji berries
2 T. raw agave nectar or 5-10 drops stevia, if desired.

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, stir together the oats, milk, raisins, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate overnight.  In the morning, add the seeds, berries, and sweetener, and stir well.  Stir in a little extra milk if necessary to achieve desired texture.  Makes 2-3 servings.  

(NOTE:  you can add the goji berries and seeds to the bowl with the other ingredients, but my own preference is for the chewiness of dried gojis and the crunch of the seeds when added the next day).
