Description
A simple, creamy, and nutritious overnight oats recipe that takes only 5 minutes to prepare for a perfect grab-and-go breakfast.
Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
A pinch of sea salt
Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, nut butter, or nuts
Instructions
Step 1: In a glass jar or airtight container, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2: Add the milk of your choice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the dry ingredients.
Step 3: Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon or seal the jar and shake well to ensure all ingredients are well combined and no dry clumps remain.
Step 4: Secure the lid and place the container in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid.
Step 5: In the morning, remove the lid and give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, add an extra splash of milk.
Step 6: Top with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds and enjoy straight from the jar!
