If you had told a younger me that I’d be soaking raw oats in milk overnight and eating them for breakfast the next day, I would’ve laughed in your face. Now that I’m older, overnight oats are an easy, healthy way to meal prep for breakfast. Best of all, you can include whatever toppings you’d like – berries, almonds, chia seeds, maple syrup, and honey are some of my favorites!
Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Optional toppings/add-ins
- mashed banana
- banana slices
- raspberries
- sliced almonds
- chocolate chips
- peanut butter
- protein powder
- and more!
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a mason jar and mix well with a spoon. Place the lid back on and let it sit in the fridge overnight. I prep this in the evening and it's perfect for breakfast the next day!
- For toppings such as fruits, I recommend adding the fruit the morning of, and just letting the oat base soak overnight. One exception to this is adding a mashed overripe banana to the base and letting that sit overnight–it really brings out the banana flavor! It pairs really well with some peanut butter or chocolate protein powder.
- Enjoy!
