Overnight Oats

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup gluten-free oats or normal oats
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt.
  • 1/2 cup milk - any milk works (almond milk).
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Toppings

  • Fruit (fresh or frozen)
  • Nuts: slivered almonds, cashews, pistachios or granola seeds: chia seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds. Dried fruit: cranberries.

Method

  1. Transfer the oats to a large mason jar or container or bowl with a secure lid.
  2. In a separate bowl stir together the yogurt with the chia seeds and mix well to combine.
  3. Adding the chia seeds to the yogurt (rather than the milk) prevents them from clumping together.
  4. Add the milk, vanilla essence, cinnamon, and yogurt with chia seeds to the oats. Mix well.
  5. Cover with an airtight lid and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to overnight.
  6. When ready to eat, you can throw in the toppings directly into the jar or divide into bowls (you can add some honey).
