This is one of my favorite things to make when I know I am going to have a busy morning the next day. I keep my overnight oats in mason jars so they are quick to grab and go, and if you’re not in a rush, just easy storage.
We all have busy mornings, sometimes more than others, so why not make things a little easier. I like to store these in smaller jars with space in the top for fruit.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole oats (I use the quick oats)
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt (We love the Oikos 25% less sugar)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup for sweetness (optional)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1 splash pure vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit for topping
Directions
- Stir all of your ingredients together in a bowl until combined.
- Pour into mason jars, I like to use a canning funnel because it makes things easier.
- Refrigerate overnight (as least 10 hours) and enjoy your oats in the morning with some fresh fruit.
Tips: This keeps pretty well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If you are taking them on the go, leave some empty space in the top if you want to add some fresh fruit.
