Ingredients:

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ⅛ tsp of salt
  • ½ cup fresh fruit
  • Optional: , 1 tsp honey or maple syrup

Method:

Start Cooking
  • Add the oats, chia seeds, salt, and milk to a jar or container.
  • Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Stir again to help prevent chia seed clumps.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
  • Top with fresh fruit before serving. Bon appétit.

Kitchen Tools:

  • Jars or airtight containers

Notes:

From the kitchen
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for overnight oats because they soften while still keeping a creamy texture. Instant oats tend to become too soft, while steel-cut oats stay firmer and require a much longer soaking time.
  • The short 10-minute rest before refrigerating helps the chia seeds hydrate evenly and creates a smoother texture by morning.
  • Fresh fruit can be stirred into the oats or layered on top before refrigerating so breakfast is ready to grab straight from the fridge in the morning.
  • For a smaller portion, use ⅓ cup rolled oats and ½ cup milk while keeping the remaining ingredients the same.
 
Make it yours
  • Add mashed banana for natural sweetness.
  • Stir in peanut butter or almond butter.
  • Add cinnamon or vanilla extract.
  • Use berries, peaches, apples, or mango.
  • Add Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
 
At the table
  • Serve cold straight from the refrigerator or let the oats sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.
  • Top with extra fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey just before serving.
