Overnight Oats

A simple and healthy make-ahead breakfast that saves time and promotes nourishment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 cup yogurt (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh or frozen fruits (e.g., berries, bananas, apples)
  • Nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, chia seeds, walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats with milk, yogurt (if using), honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
  2. Add Fruits and Nuts: Stir in your choice of fruits and nuts to the mixture. Feel free to add as much or as little as you like.
  3. Jar It Up: Pour the mixture evenly into individual mason jars or airtight containers. Make sure to leave some space at the top for ingredients that might expand or for toppings.
  4. Chill Overnight: Seal the containers and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill overnight, or at least for 4 to 6 hours.
  5. Enjoy in the Morning: In the morning, simply grab a jar, give it a good stir, and enjoy it as is or add more toppings like fresh fruits, honey, or nuts.
