Healthy Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats
Ditch the processed packets for this creamy, nostalgic dream. Prepped in just five minutes and waiting for you when you wake up, these oats are the ultimate "gift to your future self." They are perfectly sweet, rich in fiber, and designed to keep you glowing and energized all morning long.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Whisk the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a glass jar. Pour in the milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla.
- Stir vigorously for 30 seconds, ensuring no dry pockets remain at the bottom. Secure the lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before eating, give the oats a final stir. If the texture is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. Top with a tiny extra sprinkle of brown sugar for a little morning magic!
Notes
For the best texture, use Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats rather than Quick Oats. If you are prepping for the whole week, these will stay fresh and delicious in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you prefer a protein boost, stir in two tablespoons of Greek yogurt before chilling.
