Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk or regular milk
- 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt or regular yogurt (optional)
Flavorings & Mix-ins
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, agave, etc.)
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Toppings
- 2 tbsp berry jam, jelly, or preserves
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- Blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries (optional)
- Chopped peanuts (optional)
- Granola (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, milk, yogurt (if using), peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into a jar or container. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly, then seal the container with a lid.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator and let the oats soak overnight or for at least 4 hours so they absorb the liquid and soften.
- Stir and Adjust: The next morning, remove the lid and stir the oats to combine. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency to your oats.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Enjoy the oats directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Top with berry jam, additional peanut butter, fresh berries, chopped peanuts, and granola as desired for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can customize the sweetener by using honey, agave, or your preferred syrup instead of maple syrup.
- Non-dairy milk and yogurt alternatives work well for a vegan version.
- Chia seeds add texture and help thicken the oats while providing extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- The oats are best eaten within 2 days for freshness.
- Add fresh fruit or nuts just before serving to keep them crisp.
