7 Tasty and Healthy Overnight Oats Recipes

Oats. Old-fashioned oats work best for overnight oats. For a shorter soaking time, use quick oats, and for a longer one, use steel-cut oats.

Milk. Use cow’s milk or a fortified, unsweetened, plant-based milk of your choice at a 1:1 ratio with the oats. For example, ½ cup (120 ml) of milk per ½ cup (120 ml) of oats.

Chia seeds (optional). Chia seeds act like glue to bind the ingredients. Use ¼ part chia seeds per 1 part oats. For instance, use ⅛ cup (30 ml) chia seeds per ½ cup (120 ml) oats.

Yogurt (optional). Yogurt adds extra protein and creaminess. Use a dairy or plant-based yogurt and adjust the amount to your preference.

Vanilla (optional). A dash of vanilla extract or vanilla bean adds a touch of flavor to your overnight oats.

Sweetener (optional). A little maple syrup, 2 to 3 chopped dates, or half a mashed banana can sweeten your overnight oats.
