Traveler’s Overnight Oats
When mornings feel like a race against the clock, having breakfast already waiting in the fridge changes everything. This simple base of rolled oats, milk, and yogurt creates a thick, creamy texture while you sleep. You'll love how easy it is to customize the flavor profile with cinnamon and blueberries, rich cocoa and cherries, or tropical coconut and strawberries. Just grab your jar and head out the door.
Ingredients
- 50g oats
- 110–120ml milk
- 1 tablespoon natural yogurt, plus extra to serve (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and a small handful of blueberries
- ½ tablespoon cocoa powder and a few cherries
- ½ tablespoon desiccated coconut and a few strawberries
Instructions
- 1Mix the oats, milk, and yogurt together in a glass jar or sealable container. Stir in your chosen flavor combination, making sure no dry pockets remain at the bottom.
- 2Cover the container tightly and chill in the refrigerator overnight. The oats need this resting time to soften and fully absorb the liquid.
- 3Stir the chilled oat mixture well to redistribute the ingredients. Top with extra fresh fruit and a spoonful of yogurt right before eating.
Notes
- Vegan swap: Use dairy-free milk and a plant-based yogurt like oat or coconut instead of standard dairy.
- Variations: Try topping your jar with chopped apples, diced pears, dried fruit, or toasted nuts.
- Storage: Keep the prepared jars in the fridge for up to 3 days for an easy grab-and-go option.
