Three Overnight Oats Recipes

Overnight oats are a great way to prepare breakfast in advanced with no actual cooking required! This delicious breakfast always starts with the same base, and can be customized for a variety of flavour combinations. Chef Jaco shared 3 recipes for his favourite flavours with us; carrot cake, raspberry and almond butter, and mixed berry.

Overnight Oats Base Recipe

Ingredients

Instant Oats 80 g
Almond Milk (or your milk of preference) 250 ml

Maple Syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference) 25 ml

Instructions

  1. Combine the Instant oats, almond milk (or your milk of preference), Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup to a resealable container or mason jar. We used a mason jar since they are reusable and are easy to take on the go.
