Recipe makes 1 jar of overnight oats

You will need:

120ml milk (substitute for your favourite plant-based milk if wanted)

45g rolled oats

32g natural peanut butter

20ml maple syrup

9g chia seeds (optional)

8oz jar or container with a lid

Any toppings you want! Our favourites are:

Chopped Nuts

Granola

Flax seeds or chia seeds

Fresh or dried fruit, we recommend strawberries, raspberries or banana

Instructions:

To a jar or small container with a air tight lid, add your milk, chia seeds (optional), natural peanut butter and maple syrup and stir to combine.

Add your oats and stir a few more times. Then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats are fully immersed in the milk mixture.

Cover securely with a lid and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soak up all the delicious flavours.

After 6 or more hours have passed, open and enjoy as is or garnish with the toppings of your choice!

storage and heating(optional):

You can heat your oats in the microwave for 45-60 seconds in a microwave safe container, or transfer your oats to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through, add more milk if oats seem to dry.

Overnight oats will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days but are best eaten within the first 24 hours. Not freezer friendly.
