Overnight oats make a tasty and healthy breakfast that you can prepare ahead of time.

These overnight oats are packed full of berry and oat goodness and can be prepared the night before saving available time in the mornings.

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole grain cereal (such as granola or muesli)
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added thickness and nutrition)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Optional toppings: Shredded coconut, sliced almonds, additional fresh fruit

Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients

In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, whole grain cereal, fresh blueberries, and chia seeds (if using). Stir to mix everything evenly.

2. Add Liquid

Pour the coconut milk over the oat mixture in the jar. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more milk. Stir gently to ensure that all the ingredients are coated in the milk.

3. Sweeten (Optional)

If you like your overnight oats on the sweeter side, you can add honey or maple syrup to the mixture. Stir to incorporate the sweetener evenly.

4. Refrigerate Overnight

Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate it overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

5. Serve and Enjoy

The next morning, remove the jar from the refrigerator and give the oats a good stir. If desired, you can add more milk to adjust the consistency. Transfer the overnight oats to a bowl or eat from the jar and top with your favourite toppings, such as shredded coconut, sliced almonds, or additional fresh fruit.

You can experiment with different types of fruit, nuts, seeds, and milk alternatives to create endless variations of overnight oats. Prepare a batch or two at the beginning of the week for a convenient and healthy breakfast option that's ready to grab and go.

Enjoy!
