Nutritious, delicious, and quick, overnight oats are a healthy way to start the day. I like to set up individual portions in advance in covered glass bowls and then add plant-based milk the night before so breakfast is ready in less time than it takes to make coffee. These oats are infinitely customizable. Use your favorite fruits and nuts.

Ingredients for Each Portion:

I have four 2-cup size glass covered bowls for overnight oats. It saves time to assemble the dry ingredients for all four bowls at once. To each bowl, add the following. Then cover and set aside until the night before you’d like oats for breakfast.

½ cups old fashioned oats (I use organic gluten-free oats)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp flaxseed meal
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp almond flour (ground almonds)

The night before you want overnight oats for breakfast:

Add ½ cup plant-based milk to the bowl, mix well, cover, and refrigerate.

Optional Toppings for Serving:

In the morning, uncover the oats and mix well. Then, add your favorite toppings. I always drizzle my oats with maple syrup, add a few chopped walnuts, and some fruit. But the sky’s the limit. Use your imagination to create a delicious combination.

Suggested toppings:

Maple syrup
Vegan yogurt
