The perfect breakfast for not-morning-people. No, you don't have to cook the night before.
To make these easy overnight oats, start by mixing the dry oats and chia seeds in a jar. I like to use a glass jar for this, but you could use whatever you have on hand. Add the milk, yogurt, honey and vanilla extract and give it a thorough mix. Chia seeds tend to clump up, so mix well until everything is well distributed. Put this jar in the fridge at night, and you’ll have tender but not gooey oats in the morning.
In the morning, all you need to do now is top it off with some fruits and enjoy. I’ve tried this with banana, walnuts and chocolate chips; chopped apples, walnuts and cinnamon; even some papaya one morning when I couldn’t find any other fruit in my fridge - all were absolutely delicious but I personally come back to the banana and chocolate chip combo on the regular.
These Overnight Oats stay good in the fridge for 3-4 days so you can make a few portions at a time. You could even add the chopped fruit on top when you put it in the fridge the night before if you need something more grab-and-go in the morning. If you don't want your oats and fruits mixing (don't worry, that's totally normal), you could use a glass bento box with partitions, make the oats in one section and add the fruit in the other.
