目次

Overnight Oatmeal is healthy breakfast you can prepare!

Here are the recipes to give you some variations!

Basic Recipe

INGREDIENTS
⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup (heaping) rolled oats
⅔ cup unsweetened milk of choice
1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxmeal
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
0-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk together all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Spoon into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Close and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before eating.

Peanut Butter

Ingredients
OATS
1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk (DIY recipe)
3/4 Tbsp (9 g) chia seeds
2 Tbsp (32 g) natural salted peanut butter or almond butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup (or sub coconut sugar, organic brown sugar, or stevia to taste)
1/2 cup (45 g) gluten free rolled oats
TOPPINGS
Sliced banana, strawberries or raspberries
Flaxseed meal or additional chia seed
Granola

Instructions
To a mason jar or small bowl add almond milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, and maple syrup (or other sweetener) and stir with a spoon to combine. The peanut butter doesn't need to be completely mixed with the almond milk (doing so leaves swirls of peanut butter to enjoy the next day).
Add oats and stir a few more times, then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats have been moistened and are immersed in almond milk.
Cover securely with a lid or plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
The next day, open and enjoy as is, or garnish with desired toppings (see options above).
Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours.

Carrot Cake

Ingredients
3/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 cup Plain low fat Greek yogurt (or mashed banana, applesauce or pumpkin)
1/2 cup Grated carrots (I used one large carrot)
1/4 tsp Salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Apple pie spice
2 tbs Baking stevia (or 1/4 cup sweetener) [1]
1 cup Old fashioned oats
1/4 cup Protein powder (or additional oats)
Optional:
Toppings of choice

In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Divide between 2 small bowls, mugs, or mason jars. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least an hour (or more) so the oats soften and absorb the liquid). Top with chopped nuts, cinnamon, low sugar syrup, or vanilla Greek yogurt if desired! Enjoy cold, or microwave for 30-60 seconds to enjoy warm!

Chocolate

1 small, ripe banana
2 Tbsp raw cacao powder
2 Tbsp sweetner (raw honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup), optional
2 Tbsp water
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 Tbsp chia seeds
1.5 cups full-fat coconut milk

In a bowl, mash the banana with the cacao, sweetner if using, and water until it forms a smooth paste.
Stir in the oats and chia seeds, and then the milk, stirring continuously.
Place in the fridge overnight either in the bowl or in individual jars.
To serve it warm, add to a saucepan in the morning and heat over low to medium heat around 5 minutes. You may need to add some extra liquid at this point to thin a little if the porride is to thick.

Blueberry Almond

Ingredients:

1/3 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
Dash of cinnamon
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Extra blueberries and cinnamon, for serving

Directions:

1. Stir oats, milk, yogurt, blueberries, and cinnamon together in a jar or bowl. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight. In the morning, remove from refrigerator and top with almonds, extra blueberries, and cinnamon. Enjoy!

Note-if you want to sweeten up your oats, feel free to add a bit of brown sugar or honey!
