Overnight oats are easy to make with old fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds and milk. Add maple syrup and brown sugar for flavor or mix it up with these other ideas!
Cover jar securely with the top and refrigerate overnight (or at least 5 hours).
Serve cold or reheat in the microwave for 1 minute (stirring halfway through).
Notes
I prefer 3/4 cup milk for a thicker oats consistency. If you like a normal/thinner oat consistency, try 1 cup milk instead.
How long do overnight oats last? Overnight oats will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator if covered tightly with a lid.Can you use steel cut oats or quick oats? Yes, however, steel cut oats will make a denser oatmeal. Quick oats are more processed and will lack as much nutrition, but will work nonetheless.Chia seed substitute: Flax seed works well and helps gives the pudding texture. You can also use Greek yogurt, but the texture will change slightly.
