Overnight Oats
These Overnight Oats are great for meal-prep. This healthy breakfast takes just a few minutes to prep, is so customizable, and is so easy to enjoy on-the-go.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice: almond coconut, oat, etc.
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- Optional: 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a mason jar or container of choice and mix well to combine.
- Place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve cold with topping of choice (see note).
Notes
- Storage containers: round // rectangular
- Topping Ideas: There are so many different ways you can customize this recipe. Get creative, mix and match, you really can't go wrong. Here are just a few of my favorite add-ins:
- Fresh Fruit: Add in blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, sliced bananas, raspberries, you name it.
- Dried Fruit: Try raisins, craisins, or dried cherries for some extra sweetness and texture.
- Granola: Stir in your favorite store-bought granola or try it with PB + J Granola, Cherry, Coconut, and Chocolate Granola, Birthday Cake Granola, or The Best Gluten-Free Granola.
- Chocolate: Toss in a handful of your favorite chocolate chips.
- Nut Butter: Stir in a scoop of peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or any other nut butter you prefer.
- Nuts: Sprinkle in some chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
- Seed Blend: I love hemp hearts, chia seeds, and ground flaxseeds!
- Yogurt: Give your oats an extra boost of protein with a scoop of your favorite Greek yogurt.
- Tip: While you can add the mix-ins the night before, I like to portion them out separately as pictured, but wait to add them until right before serving. That way my oatmeal is extra fresh and not soggy!
