Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, and milk.
  2. Mix Well: Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. 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.
