Ingredients
- ¾ cup rolled oats gluten-free if needed
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 1 cup milk of your choice I used unsweetened soy milk
- Almond butter or peanut butter optional
- Fresh blueberries optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into a jar (except the almond or peanut butter and the blueberries), stir, cover, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Give it a good stir before serving and add more milk if needed.
- Customize it with any kind of fresh fruit, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, or any other topping like ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, ground ginger, dark chocolate, shredded coconut, or matcha tea.
- Keep the leftovers in a closed jar in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- You can use any type of oats.
- If you can’t eat gluten, use gluten-free oats or quinoa flakes instead. If you use quinoa flakes, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid.
- Omit the syrup if you prefer your overnight oats sugar-free, or use dates or sliced banana instead.
- Vanilla extract works really well for this recipe.
- Although chia seeds are optional, I like to incorporate them into my overnight oats because they give them a wonderful texture and consistency.
- I used soy milk, but this recipe will work with any kind of plant milk. It goes really well with coconut milk.
- Nutritional info has been calculated without the almond butter and the blueberries.
