Description
A quick and easy recipe for overnight oats that are nutritious and customizable for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruits (e.g., berries, banana slices)
- Nuts and seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, mix the oats, milk, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Layer your oats: If you’re using a jar, you can start layering. Add some oats, then a layer of your choice of fruits, followed by more oats. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Chill overnight: Seal your jar or cover your bowl and refrigerate overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the milk and become soft.
- Top and serve: In the morning, give your oats a little stir, add your desired toppings like nuts or more fresh fruits, and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with flavors like cocoa powder or cinnamon for added variety.
