Ingredients & Substitutions

Rolled oats are the best choice for overnight oats, as they absorb liquid well and create a creamy texture. Chia seeds not only thicken the oats but also add healthy omega-3 fatty acids. You can substitute almond milk with coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk depending on your preference.

Tips & Notes

  • Experiment with different plant-based milks for varied flavors.
  • Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra flavor boost.

Recipe Variations

  • Try adding cocoa powder and banana for chocolate banana oats.
  • Use pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice for a fall-inspired flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 5 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
