Recipe makes 1 jar of overnight oats
You will need:
120ml milk (substitute for your favourite plant-based milk if wanted)
45g rolled oats
32g natural peanut butter
20ml maple syrup
9g chia seeds (optional)
8oz jar or container with a lid
Any toppings you want! Our favourites are:
Chopped Nuts
Granola
Flax seeds or chia seeds
Fresh or dried fruit, we recommend strawberries, raspberries or banana
Instructions:
To a jar or small container with a air tight lid, add your milk, chia seeds (optional), natural peanut butter and maple syrup and stir to combine.
Add your oats and stir a few more times. Then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats are fully immersed in the milk mixture.
Cover securely with a lid and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soak up all the delicious flavours.
After 6 or more hours have passed, open and enjoy as is or garnish with the toppings of your choice!
storage and heating(optional):
You can heat your oats in the microwave for 45-60 seconds in a microwave safe container, or transfer your oats to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through, add more milk if oats seem to dry.
Overnight oats will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days but are best eaten within the first 24 hours. Not freezer friendly.
