Description
Delicious and nutritious overnight oats that are easy to prepare and perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (I like unsweetened almond milk)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or ¼ cup more milk)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (or your preferred sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- pinch of sea salt
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
- ¼ cup fresh berries (I like sliced strawberries and blueberries best)
- 1 Tablespoon strawberry jam or chia jam
Instructions
- Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and sea salt into a jar or storage container with a lid. Stir ingredients together. Place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy. You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.
- Stir 1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then sprinkle oats with remaining chocolate chips to serve.
- Stir ½ Tablespoon of peanut butter into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then drizzle oats with remaining peanut butter to serve.
- Stir 2 Tablespoons of berries into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then top layer of jam and remaining fresh berries.
Notes
- This recipe is customizable with various toppings such as nut butter, nuts, and seeds.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste preference.
- Great for meal prep; can be made in advance for multiple servings.
