Overnight Oats Recipe

Overnight oats offer a range of health benefits. They are high in fibre, which aids digestion and helps you feel full longer. When combined with ingredients like nuts, seeds, or protein powder, they provide a substantial protein boost. Oats are also nutrient-dense, containing essential vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. The recipe is highly adaptable, allowing you to add various fruits, nuts, seeds, spices, and toppings for tailored nutrition. Soaking oats overnight improves their digestibility by breaking down starches. . 

Overnight Oats Ingredients

 

Base Ingredients:

  • ROLLED OATS – Preferably steel-cut and organic rolled oats for the best texture. Quick/instant oats just don't produce the same results. 
  • MILK OF CHOICE - Overnight oats are adaptable to any type of milk. Use full-fat organic milk or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk, oat milk or hemp milk.  It's even OK to just use water but obviously this makes it less creamy, but lower in calories.
  • YOGURT - Adding a dollop of yogurt makes the overnight oats even creamier. In general, the thicker the type of yogurt, the thicker the overnight oats will be. Ideally use full fat organic Greek yogurt, or a dairy-free option like coconut yogurt. 
  • To sweeten you can use mashed banana, stewed apple, chopped dates, maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar.

Base ingredient ratio is: Equal parts rolled oats, milk and yogurt and then choice of sweetener. 

 

Mix all the base ingredients - together in a bowl add a pinch of salt and stir well. Layering the base mix with any additions (ideas below), depending on your nutritional needs, into a glass jar with a lid or Kilner jar. Have fun!

  • Refrigerate overnight – This gives the oats some time to fully soak up the milk, yogurt and preferred sweetener.

In addition, you can add:

  • Berries: blueberries, cherries, blackberries, raspberries.
  • Nut butters (peanut, cashew, almond)
  • Seeds: chai, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame
  • Nuts: almonds flakes,  walnuts pieces, chopped pecan and cashews.
  • Cinnamon
  • Cacao powder
  • Turmeric
  • Maca Powder
