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.
