Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon or more salt
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, and milk.
- Mix Thoroughly: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, and milk. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent absorption of other odors. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve: When ready to eat, remove from the refrigerator and give it a good stir. Top with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds and enjoy a healthy, ready-to-eat breakfast.
Notes
- You can use any milk of your choice: dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add toppings such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey to enhance flavors and texture.
- For a dairy-free, vegan option, be sure to use plant-based milk and check that brown sugar is vegan.
