Description

Delicious and healthy overnight oats made with rolled oats, chia seeds, and topped with your favorite ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup rolled oats (also called “traditional” or “old-fashioned” oats)
  • ½ Tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla)
  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp molasses
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • pinch ground nutmeg (just a small amount goes a long way)

Instructions

  1. In a mason jar or other container with a lid, combine the dry ingredients including the oats, chia seeds, and spices. Give it a stir.
  2. Add the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla. Stir it really well.
  3. Store in the fridge overnight (or at least 3-4 hours) in an airtight container. When ready to serve the next morning, add your favorite toppings.
  4. Hint: Use a wide-mouth mason jar or even an empty peanut butter or almond butter jar to make your overnight oats. Don’t use a container with a narrow mouth because it will be harder to mix.

Notes

  • Use almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Consider adding fresh fruits or nuts as toppings.
