Notes

Adjust for servings: The base recipe is for one serving, but you can easily double, triple, or quadruple it to make more. Scale up the recipe for a family or group, and store in separate containers for easy grab-and-go meals.
Get creative with flavors: These are just three suggested flavor combinations, but feel free to experiment with your favorite ingredients. Add fresh fruit, dried fruit, spices, or nuts—whatever you love in your regular oatmeal will work here too.
Keep fruit fresh: If you’re worried about fruit like apples or bananas browning, add them just before eating. Let the base sit overnight, but top with fresh fruit right before serving to keep it vibrant.
Boost with protein: For an extra nutritional kick, stir in protein powder to the base. If using protein powder, remember it may alter the texture slightly—some powders can be gritty.
Follow the recipe for best results: While overnight oats are simple, the correct ratio of liquid to oats is key for texture and flavor. Stick to my recipe for the best balance of creamy oats and flavorful base. Quality ingredients make a big difference, too.
Have fun: Overnight oats are versatile, so feel free to add your own twist to the mix-ins. Get creative with ingredients and make this recipe your own—whether it’s adding chocolate chips, swapping in maple syrup, or experimenting with spices!
