I’m all about easy recipes lately that can be made in just a jar. They’re cute, take no time to make, and they make for quick, easy, grab-and-go meals for my busy lifestyle. For this recipe I’m going to show you how to make overnight oats. A great, healthy breakfast option!
Why you’ll love these overnight oats:
- 10-Minutes: I promised you quick and these only take 10-minutes to prep/make
- Easy: Made with simple ingredients, you can whip up a bunch of these to have on hand for the week
- Filling: This is a great, healthy, filling breakfast to have to start off your day
Ingredient Notes:
Oats: Cooking or rolled oats are the best option here because they soak up the liquid overnight, leaving you with a creamy (not mushy) texture.
Jam: I used raspberry jam but you can omit this, add fresh fruit instead, or swap it for whatever jam you have on hand.
How to make overnight oats:
- Add the oats, almond milk, and honey to a 500ml / 16 oz jar, mix to combine.
- Transfer into the refrigerator for 1 – 2 hours or overnight.
- In a small bowl, mix together the raspberry jam and chia seeds. Set aside.
- When you are ready to enjoy your oats, arrange the sliced banana, hemp seeds, raspberry chia jam (as much or as little as you’d like), and chopped dark chocolate on top.
- Mix together and enjoy this delicious, healthy breakfast!
Expert Tips & FAQ:
Tip for Quick Serving: If you’re going to be on the go, add your toppings once the oats are ready before leaving your home!
How can I make this vegan? Make this dairy-free by using your favorite vegan yogurt. Use any plant-based milk to make it nut-free. Then sub honey for maple syrup or agave.
Customize: Customize your oats by adding or swapping ingredients! Use any nut butter, seeds, berries, granola, nuts, spices, drizzle honey, or maple syrup- the list goes on. Say hello to your new favorite breakfast!
Storage: Store prepared overnight oats in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
