I tried overnight oats a couple of years ago and I thought it was ok. I added a bunch a stuff to it and the next day I had the perfect grab and go breakfast meals.
I recently tried to revisit making overnight oaks and I’m totally in love. What I’m doing this time around is putting the oats in the microwave for about a minute. I typically will add peanut butter on top of the chia seeds. ( because I really don’t like the texture of chia seeds. ) I currently do not add any vanilla, honey, cinnamon. I’ve tried adding those items in the past though.
Ingredients
- Jar with lid (I use the 8oz Mason jars with lids)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (1/2 cup)
- 1 cup milk (I use vanilla almond milk)
- Sliced Fruit
- chia seeds
- Peanut butter
Directions
Place the oats and milk in a jar. Shake and refrigerate until the next morning. Add your favorite toppings, fruit, chia seeds, and enjoy! Enjoy the next morning.
You can place you oats in another bowl to eat if you want to place it in the microwave or you can enjoy from the mason jar. I prefer to add my topping the day of. However, you can add your toppings when making it.
