Overnight oats are a convenient and delicious breakfast option. It is wholesome and easy to prepare.
Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/2 cup yogurt (plain or flavored)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Fresh fruits, nuts, or toppings of your choice
Choose Your Container
You’ll need a jar or a container with a lid. Mason jars work well for this purpose.
Combine Ingredients
In the jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds (if using), and honey or maple syrup. Stir well to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
Add Toppings
If you’d like, you can add sliced fruits (like bananas, berries, or apples), chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. These will infuse into the oats overnight.
Mix Again
Give the mixture a final stir to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
Cover and Refrigerate
Put the lid on your jar or container and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to sit and soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours. The oats will absorb the liquid and become soft and creamy.
The next morning, your overnight oats will be ready to eat! You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge, or you can heat them up in the microwave for a warm breakfast. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Add More Toppings: Just before eating, you can add more fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of additional honey or syrup for added texture and flavor.
Overnight oats are incredibly customizable. You can experiment with different types of milk, yogurt, sweeteners, and toppings to suit your taste preferences.
Remember that the oats will soften as they soak, so if you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the oats, milk, and yogurt together before adding the other ingredients and refrigerating them.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious overnight oats!
