Basic overnight oats are one of the easiest and healthiest breakfasts you can prepare ahead of time. By soaking rolled oats in milk overnight, they become soft, creamy, and ready to eat by morning. This versatile recipe is a perfect base—customize it with fruits, nuts, seeds, or sweeteners to suit your taste.

Ingredients

  1. ½ cup rolled oats
  2. ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  3. 2 tbsp yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
  4. 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  5. Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add oats, milk, yogurt, sweetener, and salt to a jar or bowl.
  2. Stir well until everything is combined.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Stir in the morning and add toppings if desired.
  5. Enjoy cold or warm slightly before eating.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats, not instant or steel-cut oats.
  • Adjust milk for thicker or thinner consistency.
  • Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Add fruits, nuts, seeds, or nut butter before serving.
