Description

A simple and delicious Brown Sugar Overnight Oats recipe that requires minimal preparation and provides a creamy, sweet, and nutritious breakfast option. This no-cook recipe uses old-fashioned oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, milk, and Greek yogurt to create a satisfying start to your day with a perfect balance of flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp brown sugar (plus extra for topping)

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk (any type of your choice)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt


Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix together the old fashioned oats, chia seeds, and brown sugar until they are evenly distributed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined, ensuring no dry patches remain.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  4. Serve: In the morning, stir the oats to mix any settled ingredients. Top with extra brown sugar and fresh berries if desired before enjoying your creamy and flavorful breakfast.

Notes

  • Use any milk of your choice such as almond, soy, or regular cow’s milk depending on your preference.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your sweetness preference.
  • Adding fresh berries or nuts on top adds texture and extra nutrition.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Overnight oats keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days.
