Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh fruit for topping (such as berries, sliced banana, or apple)
- Nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, plain yogurt, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This creates the base mixture for the overnight oats.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir well to ensure all the oats are fully coated with the liquid and the sugar and spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Adjust Consistency: In the morning, remove the oats from the fridge and stir them again. Add a little extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the oats with fresh fruit, nuts, or any other favorite toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
Notes
- You can use any type of milk you prefer, including almond, soy, or cow’s milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
- These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices or toppings to suit your preference.
