Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (almond, oat, soy, or cow’s milk)
• 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, cashew, or peanut butter)
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
• Optional toppings: extra chocolate chips, maple syrup drizzle, or dollop of yogurt

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a glass or bowl with a lid, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt.
2. Step 2: Pour in the milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and nut butter.
3. Step 3: Stir thoroughly until the nut butter is fully incorporated and no lumps remain. Make sure all the oats are submerged in the liquid.
4. Step 4: Add the mini chocolate chips and stir gently to distribute them evenly.
5. Step 5: Seal the container or cover the bowl, then refrigerate overnight or for at least 6–8 hours to allow the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken.
6. Step 6: The next morning, stir the oats well. Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Garnish with extra toppings if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; quick-cooking oats can become too mushy.
• Try different nut butters to vary the flavor and richness.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice note.
• Swap mini chocolate chips for chopped nuts or dried fruit for a different twist.

Storage

Store the overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before eating; if it’s too thick, add a little milk to loosen. It’s best enjoyed cold, but you can warm it briefly in the microwave if preferred.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes, you can substitute maple syrup or honey with agave nectar, brown rice syrup, or your preferred liquid sweetener. Adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.

Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?

Absolutely. Use a plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy and choose a vegan-friendly sweetener to keep it vegan.
