Last time we shared a recipe, you all went absolutely bananas for it! So, we thought we’d put another one out there for you try, this time for a sweet breakfast or afternoon snack. Introducing our overnight oats! As always, this recipe is eye-loving and packed full of healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids, and what we love about this recipe is that it’s SO easy to prepare!
Overnight oats are practically foolproof. We argue that making a jar is easier than toasting bread. Basically, all you have to do is put the base ingredients together in a jar. The base is your creamy-oaty-omega-3-packed mixture of goodness. To that, add whatever your heart desires! Flavourful, fruity and fun combos are only as big as you dream them to be!! We’ve included some flavour variations you can try out if you need some inspiration.
We like to make our overnight oats in a jar (makes the shaking step easy and is also a great way to reuse your old glass jars!), but it will work just as well in a Tupperware container.
Overnight Oats
Base Recipe
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
½ cup whole rolled oats
3/4 cup milk / dairy free milk alternative
1 tbs chia seeds
Optional: a squeeze of honey or dash of maple syrup
What you need:
- A glass jar + lid (or a deep Tupperware container with an airtight lid)
Method
Add all base ingredients to a glass jar. Seal jar and shake vigorously until all ingredients look well combined. Set jar aside.
If adding flavours and mix ins, chop and prepare them now. Add to jar and shake. Set jar aside.
After a couple of minutes, give your jar another shake. The more shaking, the better! (The movement will disperse the chia seeds to stop them from congealing all together).
Put your jar into the fridge and leave overnight, or at least 6-8 hours.
When you’re ready to eat, simply take off the lid and voila! You’ve got the perfect on-the-go meal.
