Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (natural gelling agent)

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)

Fruits & Toppings

  • Fresh or frozen fruit, as preferred (e.g., berries, bananas, apples, pineapple chunks)
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter

Optional Savory Additions

  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), a splash for savory versions

Variation Ingredients Examples

  • Assorted berries and a splash of grape juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • Pineapple chunks, shredded coconut, and a splash of apple cider vinegar
  • Diced apples, cinnamon, and additional maple syrup (natural)
  • Spinach puree with a squeeze of lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out rolled oats, plant-based milk, chia seeds, and your preferred sweeteners, fruits, or nuts to ensure easy and quick mixing.
  2. Mix the Base: In a bowl or jar, combine the oats, chia seeds, and plant-based milk. Stir gently until the mixture looks evenly soaked.
  3. Add Flavorings and Sweeteners: Incorporate maple syrup (natural) or your choice of syrup, along with fruits or nut butter. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute flavors.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, allowing the oats and seeds to absorb the liquid and develop a creamy texture.
  5. Enjoy Your Breakfast: The next day, give the oats a quick stir, add any fresh toppings such as chopped nuts or fresh berries, and enjoy your delicious and nutritious overnight oats.

Notes

  • Maintain a consistent liquid ratio of approximately 1:1.5 oats to plant-based milk for optimal creaminess.
  • Use rolled oats for the best texture and absorbency.
  • Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight for a smooth and blended dish.
  • Experiment with toppings like nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes to add crunch and contrast.
  • Add natural sweeteners toward the end or when serving for better flavor control.
