This Overnight Oats Recipe is a no-cook, make-ahead breakfast that’s creamy, wholesome, and endlessly customizable. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, it’s ready to enjoy straight from the fridge in the morning — perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen fruit (optional)
  • 1/4 cup yogurt (optional)
  • Nuts, seeds, or nut butter (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, combine oats, milk, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir well to combine. Add yogurt and fruit if using, either stirred in or layered.
  3. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. In the morning, stir the oats and top with additional fruit, nuts, or seeds as desired.
  5. Serve cold or warm in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, if preferred.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture — avoid quick or steel-cut oats.
  • Adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Make up to 5 days in advance for quick weekday breakfasts.
  • Stir in more milk before serving if the oats are too thick.
  • Customize with seasonal fruit, nut butters, or spices for variety.
