Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for overnight oats:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (e.g., cow’s milk, almond milk, oat milk)
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
- 1 tsp chia seeds (optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- Toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or nut butter
Instructions:
- In a jar or container, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using).
- Stir well to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Seal the jar/container and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4-6 hours).
- In the morning, give it a stir and add your favorite toppings (e.g., sliced bananas, berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter).
- Enjoy cold, or heat it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer it warm.
Feel free to experiment with flavors by adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or mashed banana to the base mixture!
