Overnight Oats
Overnight oats represent a no-cook approach to preparing quick-cooking oats or rolled oats. They involve soaking the oats overnight in water, milk, or yogurt, followed by topping them with fruits and dried fruits before serving.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup quick cooking oats or rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons raw sugar or honey or maple syrup or jaggery powder (optional)
- ⅓ cup water – add ½ cup water if using chia seeds & ½ to ⅔ cup water for rolled oats
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds or sweet basil seeds – optional
- ½ to ¾ cup chopped mix fruits – apple, sapota, mango, banana, berries
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped nuts – almonds, pistachios, cashews or walnuts
Instructions
- Take quick cooking oats or rolled oats in a small jar, glass, mug or a bowl.
- Add raw sugar or jaggery or any sweetener of your choice like maple syrup or honey.
- Add water. If using rolled oats, add ½ to ⅔ cup of water. Instead of water you can opt to add almond milk, lite coconut milk or yogurt.
- Stir and mix well.
- Add chia seeds. If you do not have chia seeds, then just skip them. Cover and refrigerate.
- The next morning, add fruits, topped with chopped nuts and dry fruits.
