Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh fruit (such as berries, sliced banana, or apple)
- Nuts or seeds of choice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, plain yogurt, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This mixture forms the flavorful base for your overnight oats.
- Mix Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the oats are fully coated with the liquid, helping them absorb the flavors evenly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This soaking process softens the oats, creating a creamy texture without cooking.
- Adjust Consistency: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and add a splash of extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Serve with Toppings: Add fresh fruit, nuts, or any other favorite toppings on top. Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious, ready-to-eat breakfast.
Notes
- Use any milk of your choice including almond, soy, oat, or regular dairy milk for different flavor profiles.
- Plain yogurt can be substituted with Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to taste preferences.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to experiment with spices such as nutmeg or cardamom for a different twist.
