Description
The easiest overnight oats, packed with nutrition. Simply mix together rolled oats, chia seeds, plant-based milk, and optional sweetener in a bowl or jar and allow to set overnight in the fridge. Top with desired toppings and enjoy! Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled (aka old-fashioned) oats (I like this brand and this brand)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (see notes)
- pinch of salt
- sweetener of choice, optional (I like maple syrup)
- toppings, optional (see post for ideas like fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, etc.)
Instructions
-
To a bowl or jar, add the oats, chia seeds, plant-based milk, salt, and sweetener of choice, if using. Give a good stir, let sit for a few minutes, and stir again. If topping with frozen fruit, I like to add it now so that it thaws in the fridge. Cover and put in the fridge to set overnight.
-
In the morning, top with toppings of choice like fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, and/or a dash of cinnamon.
Notes
Plant-Based Milk. Using 1/2 cup of plant-based milk will yield a thicker consistency. If you prefer your overnight oats with a thinner consistency, add a few extra tablespoons of milk.
Meal Prep. This recipe is super simple to meal prep too, if that’s your thing! I usually just take a few minutes each night to make a single serving for the following morning (to save fridge space), but feel free to make several servings at once.
