Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 2/3 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, and milk.
- Mix Well: Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats before serving and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats may become too soft.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or substituting with honey or agave syrup.
- Milk can be dairy or any plant-based alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk.
- For added protein, consider mixing in Greek yogurt before refrigerating.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
