Servings: 1 persom
Equipment
- Small bowl with lid (or jar)
- Measuring cups, spoons
- spoon
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned/rolled oats
- 1-2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- ¾ cup milk of choice
- 1-2 Tablespoons yogurt (vanilla, plain, berry, etc) optional
Instructions
- Add ingredients to serving bowl: ½ cup old fashioned/rolled oats (they're the same), 1-2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon flaxseed or chia seed, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir together.
- Pour ¾ cup milk over oat mixture. Stir together. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Top with 1-2 Tablespoons yogurt (or add with other ingredients before chilling), enjoy warmed or cold.
Notes
- Old fashioned or rolled oats, which are the same are best for this recipe. Quick cooking oats are chopped rolled oats and will get too soft/fall apart. Steel cut oats will be very chewy after refrigerating.
- If you've got cream cheese, I recommend adding it for a more traditional cinnamon roll flavor (many cinnamon roll frostings have cream cheese in them). Just soften it before adding.
- Yogurt, particularly thick yogurt is a great addition for creaminess and tangy flavor. You can add it with the main ingredients, or add a dollop on top. Vanilla, plain, pumpkin pie, berry, etc would be good in these overnight oats.
- Optional Toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts and pecans would be great), raisins, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice, gingerbread spice (I'd recommend replacing the cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice or gingerbread spice if using), cream cheese frosting (cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk).
