Instructions

Place all of the ingredients and any additional toppings into a mixing bowl and stir to combine. If using a mason jar (2 cup capacity), add the ingredients and shake to combine. Cover and place in the fridge overnight, or for at least 3 hours.
The oats and chia will thicken and soak in the liquid to set and when ready, they will be soft and creamy. Top with extra yoghurt and extra berries or your favourite toppings. Serve either hot or cold.

Notes

To change the texture and consistency of the oats, you can adjust the ingredient quantities. Add more milk or a little apple juice for wetter oats, or more chia seeds and extra oats for thicker oats. You’re likely to find the right balance after your first attempt!
Because there are so many variations and filling options, overnight oats can be made to suit many special diets. For vegan or dairy-free overnight oats, use your favourite plant-based milk and coconut yoghurt.

Storage; These oats can be prepared 5 days in advance and stored in a mason jar or airtight container in the fridge. So, you can make a batch on a Sunday and not have to worry about breakfast throughout the week! You can even freeze them in individual portions to add to lunchboxes or take to work.
Overnight oats are usually eaten cold like bircher muesli, but can also be eaten hot if you prefer. To heat, add a single serve to the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until warmed through.
For extra protein; Fold in some extra protein yoghurt like Chobani Fit or YoPro when serving, add some chia or flax seeds or stir through your favourite plant-based protein powder for some extra protein overnight oats. You can also add a tablespoon of nut butter for an extra protein boost.
Please note that the nutrition information is based on the oats being divided into 2 serves. The nutritional information is an estimate only and does not take into account any additional toppings served with the oats.
