Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and almond milk, stirring thoroughly to ensure all oats are well-coated with liquid.
- Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract to the oat mixture, whisking gently to distribute the sweetener and flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle chia seeds into the bowl and mix well, allowing them to begin absorbing liquid and creating a thicker texture.
- Gently fold in half of the mixed berries, reserving the remaining berries for topping.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual sealed containers or mason jars.
- Refrigerate the oats overnight or for at least 6-8 hours to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid completely.
- Before serving, give the oats a gentle stir to redistribute ingredients and check consistency, adding a little more almond milk if needed.
- Top with remaining fresh mixed berries, and optional garnishes like sliced almonds, additional chia seeds, or a drizzle of extra honey.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator and enjoy your nutritious, no-cook breakfast.
Tips
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh rolled oats and ripe, seasonal berries for the best flavor and nutrition.
- Liquid Ratio Matters: Adjust almond milk quantity based on your preferred consistency. Start with the recipe's recommended amount and add more if needed.
- Experiment with Sweeteners: While honey and maple syrup work great, you can also try agave nectar or a sprinkle of stevia for different flavor profiles.
- Prep Ahead: These overnight oats can be made 2-3 days in advance, making meal planning a breeze.
- Customize Your Toppings: Get creative with garnishes like sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of Greek yogurt to add extra texture and nutrition.
- Storage Tip: Always store overnight oats in airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
