As a chef, I tested this in my own kitchen. Creamy, filling overnight oats that you prep in 5 minutes tonight and grab tomorrow morning.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener maple syrup or honey

Method
 

  1. Combine the oats, milk, chia seeds, and sweetener in a jar or bowl.
  2. Stir well so the chia seeds don't clump.
  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
  4. Stir again in the morning and enjoy cold or slightly warmed.
  5. Top with fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, or a spoonful of yogurt.

Notes

Chef's tip: chia seeds make the oats thicker and add fiber and omega-3s. Add cinnamon, vanilla extract, or cocoa powder for a new flavor each day. Make a few jars at once. They keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
