Overnight oats are simply oats that have been soaked in liquid overnight, allowing them to absorb the moisture and soften without cooking. This method was popularized as a convenient breakfast solution, particularly in the fast-paced world we live in today. The concept of soaking oats dates back to ancient times when people recognized the need to prepare food that could be consumed quickly and easily. While oatmeal has long been a staple in many cultures, overnight oats emerged as a modern twist, appealing to those seeking healthier meal options that fit their busy lifestyles.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Toppings: sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or extra berries for garnish

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon (if using). Stir well to mix the dry ingredients.

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.

        Fold in the mixed berries gently, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Divide the mixture into two jars or airtight containers with lids. Ensure there’s enough space at the top for the oats to expand as they soak.

            Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).

              In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick. Top with your choice of sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or more berries before serving.
