Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats Regular rolled oats recommended for texture.
  • 1 cup milk Can use dairy or non-dairy milk alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds Optional; can substitute with flaxseeds.
  • 1 cup fresh fruit Berries, bananas, apples, or other seasonal fruits.
  • optional sweetener Honey, maple syrup, or none based on preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In your jar or container, combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, and sweetener if using. Stir well to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed together.
  2. After mixing, add your choice of fresh fruits on top. This provides flavor and texture. Seasonal fruits like berries in summer or apples in fall work well.
  3. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight to meld flavors and soften the oats.
  4. In the morning, enjoy your Overnight Oats cold or warm them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds.

Notes

Consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth, or a spoonful of nut butter for creaminess. They can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. Freezing is not recommended but can be done before adding fresh toppings.
