Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk or yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fruit toppings (like berries, banana, or apple)
- Nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, start by mixing together the rolled oats, milk or yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- Cover and Refrigerate: Once combined, cover your jar or bowl tightly to prevent any moisture loss, then place it in the refrigerator. This is where the magic happens—let it chill and soak overnight.
- Stir and Add Toppings: In the morning, remove your oats from the fridge, give them a nice stir, and then get creative! Add in your choice of fruit and sprinkle with nuts or seeds for that perfect crunch.
Notes
These oats can be prepared up to three days in advance and stored in an airtight container. Adjust liquid for desired texture.
