Overnight Oats


When we are going through our more healthy stages, this overnight oats recipe is one we often use for a yummy and filling breakfast that's healthy and relatively cheap.


Ingredients:


  • 2oz rolled oats. I use Organic Jumbo Oats, but all sorts of oats work fine

  • 4oz ounces milk (dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.)

  • 2oz Greek yogurt

  • 0.5oz chia seeds (optional for added thickness and nutrition)

  • 0.5oz to 1oz sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar) to taste

  • Tiny drop of vanilla extract (optional, for flavour)

  • Pinch of salt

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Fresh or frozen fruits (berries, sliced bananas, diced apples, etc.)

  • Nuts or seeds (walnuts, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.)

  • Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc.)

  • Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.)

  • Shredded coconut

  • Chocolate chips, coca nibs or cocoa powder

Instructions:

  1. Combine ingredients:

  • Add rolled oats, milk, Greek yoghurt, chia seeds (if using), sweetener vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a jar or airtight container. Stir well to combine.

  1. Add optional add-ins:

  • If desired, add any additional ingredients such as fruits, nuts, seeds, nut butter, spices, coconut, or chocolate chips. Stir to distribute the add-ins evenly.

  1. Cover and refrigerate:

  • Seal the jar or container tightly with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

  1. Serve:

  • In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

  • Add toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey if desired.

  1. Enjoy:

  • Enjoy your creamy and nutritious overnight oats straight from the refrigerator!

Tips:

  • Overnight oats can be prepared in batches and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making them a convenient meal prep option.

  • Adjust the sweetness and thickness of the oats according to your preference by adding more or less sweetener and liquid.

  • Experiment with different flavour combinations and toppings to keep your breakfasts interesting and satisfying.
