Brown Sugar Overnight Oats
A quick and customizable healthy breakfast option prepared the night before, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk or dairy-free milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or to taste
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional for added texture
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, brown sugar, chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
Serving
- The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If you'd like a creamier texture, add a little more milk to adjust the consistency.
- Serve the oats as is or top them with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or granola.
Notes
Store any leftover Brown Sugar Overnight Oats in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. You can prepare separate jars for each day to grab and go. Adjust the sweetness and explore various toppings to customize your oats.
