Overnight Oats

Creamy, dreamy, and effortlessly delicious, these Overnight Oats make mornings a breeze with their perfect blend of oats, yogurt, chia seeds, and fresh fruit.

Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats: 1/2 cup – The hearty base that softens to a pudding-like consistency overnight.
  • Milk (dairy or non-dairy): 1/2 cup – Soaks into the oats and creates creaminess.
  • Greek Yogurt: 1/4 cup – Adds tang and richness, and boosts the protein.
  • Chia Seeds: 1 tablespoon – Thickens the mix and adds fiber and omega-3s.
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: 1 tablespoon – For just the right touch of natural sweetness.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon – Enhances flavor and brings warmth.
  • Fresh Fruit (e.g., berries, banana): 1/2 cup – Adds color, natural sweetness, and nutrients.
  • Pinch of Salt: Just enough to amplify every flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: No preheating needed, but make sure your jar or container is clean and dry.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or directly in the jar, add rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: If mixing in a bowl, transfer the mixture to your container or jar.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Stir everything together until well combined. Layer fruits on top or mix them in, based on your preference.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Place the jar in the fridge and let it sit overnight (or at least 6 hours).
  6. Finishing Touches: In the morning, give it a stir. Add more fruit, a dollop of nut butter, or a sprinkle of granola if desired.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dig into your cold, creamy breakfast masterpiece.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats, not quick oats, for the best texture.
  • Stir well before refrigerating to ensure even soaking.
  • Customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds.
