Ingredients
Base Oats:
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (56g)
- ½ cup milk of choice (120ml)
- ¼ cup PLAIN yogurt (optional, or more milk) (60g)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter:
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
Berry:
- ¼ cup blueberries or sliced strawberries mashed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
PB & Jelly:
- 1 tablespoon fruit jam
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- ¼ cup diced strawberries (optional)
Banana Nut:
- ½ banana mashed
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
For the Base Oats:
- In a large glass jar or container with a lid, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, and salt. Stir to combine.
- To make flavored oats, add any of the suggested flavor combination ingredients or add your own mix-ins as desired and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 5 days.
- When ready to eat, stir the oats again and thin with more milk, if needed. Add any additional toppings or flavorings as desired.
Notes
- For best results, use old-fashioned oats. Steel-cut, instant, and quick-cooking oats don’t absorb liquid as well as rolled oats.
- To up the protein ante, add a scoop of protein powder to the jar along with the oats. You may need to add a little more liquid to compensate for the extra dry ingredient, but it's a great way to add a protein boost to your breakfast.
- Go nuts with toppings! No, really. Chopped nuts are a delightful topping for overnight oats because they add crunch and texture. Another crunchy option is granola. Or you can add sliced fresh fruit, chocolate chips, and drizzles of nut butter.
- Refrigerate the oats overnight. The oats need a lot of time to absorb all the liquid and become thick and creamy.
- If your oats have thickened up more than you expected, add a little milk to thin it out. Start with a tablespoon at a time until you have the desired consistency. Be careful of adding too much milk or you will end up with runny oats.
