👩🍳 Cooking Instructions
1Steam broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
2In a small saucepan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger root, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3Add rolled oats and low-fat milk to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the oats are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
4Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid.
5Serve steamed broccoli topped with the garlic-ginger oat-milk sauce.
