Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds
Description
Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds uses rolled oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and milk combined and refrigerated overnight. Soaking allows the oats to soften while the chia seeds absorb liquid and add subtle pudding-like texture. This results in a creamy, slightly thickened breakfast that is ready without cooking.
The inclusion of hemp hearts boosts texture and nutrition, and the oats can be topped with peanut butter, fresh or frozen berries, sliced banana, almonds, or unsweetened coconut to add taste and variety. The mix is usually stored in sealed jars allowing for portion-controlled meals on the go.
This recipe supports adjusting the oats-to-milk ratio to get a thinner or thicker consistency based on personal preference. Storing beyond two days is possible but freshest within two days.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons hemp hearts
- ⅔ cup milk almond, oat or regular milk
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- berries sliced
- banana sliced

- unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- To make individual servings, take two 6 or 8-ounce jars. Add 3 tablespoons of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon hemp hearts and ⅓ cup of milk in each jar.

- When ready to serve, give a quick stir to the oats. Add your favorite toppings like a tablespoon of peanut butter or a swirl of maple syrup or honey for sweetness.
- Add your favorite seasonal fruit. Almonds and coconut add a nutty flavor and bite to the oats. Enjoy right out of the jar.
