Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup yogurt
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 7-8 tablespoons Nutella
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, Nutella, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the Nutella is well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Mixture: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill and soak for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve and Garnish: When ready to eat, spoon the overnight oats into serving jars or bowls. For extra indulgence, spread a little additional Nutella on the bottom, then layer the oats on top. Add your choice of chopped fruit or fresh berries as garnish before enjoying your nutritious and delicious breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with almond, oat, or any plant-based milk to suit dietary preferences.
- Adjust the amount of Nutella and maple syrup depending on your desired level of sweetness.
- For a thicker texture, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add omega-3 fatty acids; you can reduce or omit them if preferred.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them a great prep-ahead breakfast option.
