Instructions
- In a sealable mason jar or small container, add the base ingredients. Stir well and make sure all oats are submerged in the almond milk. You may need to add an extra splash of milk.
- Pick the flavor you are making and add the ingredients.
- Place the lid on top of the jar or container to seal.
- Set in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 6 hours and up to 5 days.
- When ready to serve, add additional almond milk if you'd like and any desired toppings.
- Enjoy chilled!
Notes
- Type of Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for overnight oats. However, if you don’t have rolled oats, you can use quick oats or instant oats. Note that the overnight oats will be a tad softer than usual since the quick oat grains are already broken down more. Don’t use steel-cut oats.
- Almond Milk: I love using unsweetened almond milk in this recipe, but any milk will work. Try substituting the almond milk with oat milk, skim milk, cashew milk, or 2% milk.
- Greek Yogurt: You can use any type of yogurt or skyr. If you are dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt.
- Liquid-to-Oats Ratio: Make sure your oats are covered in a few centimeters of milk before chilling. A common liquid-to-oats ratio is 1:1, but since there is protein powder in this recipe, you may need to add a splash more.
- Freezing: While overnight oats are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze them in portions. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and add fresh toppings before serving.
- Warming: I prefer my overnight oats chilled, but you can eat them warm if you want. Just place your overnight oats into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 – 60 seconds.
- Storage: You can store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days! That is what makes this the perfect meal prep breakfast.
