How to Make Overnight Oats
You can really let your creativity flow with overnight oats.
Here is a simple recipe using simple rolled oats. Adding chia seeds is optional but creates a more pudding-like texture and adds more fibre and good fats.
Start with the classic recipe below, add flavour variations, and add toppings as you like. That’s it! So easy.
Ingredients:
- Rolled oats – healthy and full of fibre
- Warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, clove, nutmeg, turmeric – As overnight oats are consumed raw, adding warming spices helps support Agni (digestion)
- Maple syrup or honey – to naturally sweeten
- Milk of choice: Almond, Oat, Rice, Coconut – for a deliciously creamy texture
- Chia seed – added minerals, omega 3’s and provides a creamy texture
- Topping options: berries, nuts and seeds, hemp seeds
How to make in 4 easy steps
- Throw everything into a jar/bowl the night before. The quantities are up to you but a rough guide is 1 cup of oats, 1 tablespoon of Chia seeds, a dash of maple syrup, ¼ tsp of each spice and enough milk to cover the oats.
- Mix it all together and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, add toppings
- Take it with you and enjoy!
