Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup rolled oats The foundation of your Overnight Oats, offering hearty texture and fiber.

  • ½ cup yogurt (optional) Adds a boost of creaminess and probiotics for gut health.
For the Nutritional Boost

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the base ingredients. Place 1 cup of rolled oats into a clean jar or bowl. Pour in 1 cup of milk or your preferred plant-based alternative, ensuring the oats are fully submerged. Stir the mixture well until the oats absorb some of the liquid, creating a creamy base.
  2. Add yogurt and chia seeds. Mix in ½ cup of yogurt and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for added creaminess and nutritional boost. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Sweeten to taste. Drizzle in your choice of sweetener and mix well to ensure the sweetness is evenly distributed.
  4. Refrigerate overnight. Cover the jar or bowl tightly and chill for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  5. Stir before serving. In the morning, give your jar of Overnight Oats a good stir, adding a splash of milk if needed.
  6. Add toppings and enjoy. Finally, add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or nut butter and enjoy!
