Overnight Oats
The breakfast of breakfasts. Easy to make, simple ingredients, dress it however you want and boom: healthy easy breakfast you can feel good about starting your day with
- Prep Time: 10 min
- Cook Time: Overnight
- Total Time: 24-ish hours
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Rolled Oats
- 1 Cup Oat Milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 Cup yogurt flavor of choice
- 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- Dollop of Honey
- Fruit/Toppings of choice
Kitchen Utensils Needed:
- Mixing Bowl (with lid if just for breakfast the next morning)
- Storage containers with lids (if you are prepping for multiple days. Meal-Prep Containers these are the ones I use)
- Rubber Spatula
Instructions
Super Simple! Mix all ingredients together and let sit overnight in the fridge. Top with fruit of choice the night before for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. For “crunchy” type toppings that might get soggy overnight, wait to add those in the morning.
If you add toppings in the morning, give your oats a little stir to get the consistency right (sometimes the excess liquid from milk will settle slightly on top), and add your toppings.
Notes
It’s helpful if you have your fruits washed and prepped for easy access. You could put in separate containers if you want to add in the morning. The same method for all other toppings, have them separated and handy for easy topping. The last thing you want to do is make a grab-and-go breakfast but have to dig out and get your toppings prepped the next morning. (Moms this is a great job for your kids to help you with, mine washed and sliced our strawberries 😉 )
Topping Ideas
You can really get creative with this if you want to go super fancy, we usually just top with sliced strawberries or blueberries. Some other yummy fruits you could add are banana slices, raspberries, black berries. Other options include peach slices and a little cinnamon. Sliced or shredded coconut flakes, cacao nibs, shredded almonds or crushed walnuts/pecans, granola, etc. The options are absolutely vast!
If you really wanted to go extra healthy with it you could add some vanilla protein powder to your mix the night before for added protein (may need to add just a bit more milk for the consistency to be right). If you make this recipe tag me & let me see what you topped it with! You might just inspire me to add your topping choices to my next bowl of overnight oats!
