Lots of requests for this recipe. Best part is it’s totally customizable. Play around until you find your perfect mix and match.
overnight oats:
A one-to-one ratio usually works best. Just make sure your oats are covered with milk. The oats absorb a lot of the milk so check on them, give it a stir, and if you need to add more milk then add more. Some people like it “milkier” than others. I am one of those people.
1 cup rolled oats (can be regular rolled oats or gluten-free), steel-cut oats work too but need to be soaked a little longer with more milk.
1- 1.5 cups milk (can be cows milk or any dairy-free milk you love)
The add ins: We don't really measure these and just put in whatever we are feeling. If I had to guess 2-3 tbs.
pumpkin seeds
sunflower seeds
Walnuts
Slivered almonds
chia seeds - I wouldn't do more than 2 tbs of these! Mix mix mix if you add these.
hemp hearts - a great source of protein and healthy fats
coconut flakes
flax seeds - ground or whole
about 1-2 tablespoons of a nut butter
dates- we chop them up small and it’s a little surprise if sweetness
apple chunks
sliced strawberries
Blueberries
mango
mashed banana
frozen blueberries
cinnamon
vanilla extract
maple syrup
pinch or salt
Directions: Mix your base (oats and milk) and your favorite "add ins" together. If you have chia seeds in there mix extra well! Cover the container and place it in the fridge overnight. In the morning your oats will be ready to devour. Mix one more time and serve.
My family loves to do ground flax, hemp , chia seeds and a pinch of salt for the base. We let that sit overnight with 3/4 of vanilla almond milk and 1/4 whole milk. In the morning we add in PB, fruit like frozen blueberries, coconut flakes, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds and slivered almonds!
Can’t wait to hear how you make it!
