Overnight Oats (5 Ways)

The base recipe takes 5 minutes the night before. In the morning, breakfast is just... there. I've been rotating through these five flavours for years and I'm still not sick of any of them. ## The Base Recipe - ½ cup rolled oats - ½ cup milk of choice - ¼ cup Greek yogurt - 1 tbsp chia seeds - 1 tsp honey or maple syrup - Pinch of salt Combine everything in a jar, stir well, seal, and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours). In the morning, add your toppings and eat cold or gently warmed. --- ## The 5 Flavours ### 1. Classic Berry Add ½ tsp vanilla to the base. Top with fresh or frozen berries and a drizzle of honey. ### 2. Peanut Butter Banana Stir 1 tbsp peanut butter into the base. Top with sliced banana and a sprinkle of cacao nibs. ### 3. Apple Pie Add ½ tsp cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg to the base. Top with diced apple and a few chopped walnuts. ### 4. Chocolate Stir 1 tbsp cocoa powder and an extra tsp of maple syrup into the base. Top with banana slices and a few dark chocolate chips. ### 5. Mango Coconut Use coconut milk as your liquid. Top with diced mango and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes. --- ## Notes These keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, so I often make a few jars at once. Rolled oats work best — quick oats go mushy and steel-cut stay too chewy. If you like them thicker, reduce the milk slightly.
