Overnight Oats Recipe for a Nutritious and Delicious Breakfast

Overnight Oats are a delicious, healthy breakfast and the best make-ahead breakfast. I normally prepare my overnight oats the night before as part of my meal prep and let them sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning, I just need to slice some fruit and add some honey and cinnamon, and that's it!

I love having overnight oats for breakfast almost every day. They are ready to eat when I wake up in the morning and are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy carbohydrates. They are nutritious, keep me full for several hours and taste really good!

Here's my Overnight Oats Recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons of rolled oats

1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Plant-based milk such as almond milk, oat milk, or your milk of choice

Toppings

Instructions

1. Place the rolled oats and chia seeds in a glass jar

2. Pour the milk over the oats until they are submerged, then add a little more so the milk is about an inch above the oats

3. Place the lid on and shake well to combine, ensuring no clumps of chia seeds remain

4. Refrigerate overnight

5. To serve, top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, and granola. I like to include honey and cinnamon, along with fresh seasonal fruit

Note: You can substitute honey with maple syrup, agave, stevia, or your favorite sweetener.
