Basic Overnight Oats Recipe
Description
Basic Overnight Oats are prepared by combining quick oats, almond milk, chopped pecans (or other nuts/seeds), half a sliced banana, chia seeds, a portion of blueberries, cinnamon, and sweetener in a jar and refrigerating overnight. This soaking process hydrates the oats and thickens the mixture without cooking, producing a smooth and creamy base by morning.
The following day, additional crunchy toppings such as granola or nuts can be added for texture contrast. The ingredients provide natural sweetness and mild spice, with the banana and blueberries contributing fresh fruit flavor while the nuts add subtle richness and a slight crunch.
The adjustable ingredient list allows for substitutions according to dietary preferences and available ingredients, making it a versatile and nourishing breakfast or snack option.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup quick oats (I prefer organic, you can use gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp pecans or any nuts or seeds, chopped
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 banana sliced (use the other half as a topping, medium
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup blueberries (divided)
- Monk Fruit Sweetener or your favorite sweetener, or stevia, to taste
- pinch cinnamon
Instructions
- Place all the ingredient in a jar, shake, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, add your favorite crunchy toppings such as nuts, granola, etc and enjoy!
