Description

Overnight oats are a quick and easy healthy breakfast to meal prep for the morning. This is a base recipe for simple overnight oats, and will go great with any toppings you have on hand.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy milk (I used unsweetened almond milk) 
  • 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flax seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 tablespoon liquid sweetener of choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the oats, milk, seeds, and sweetener to a jar or small lidded container. Stir until well incorporated.
  2. If you would like to add any fruit, nuts, seeds, etc, do so now. 
  3. Pop a lid on the jar and place in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, or overnight.
  4. Enjoy! These overnight oats will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
