Overnight Oats


Picture
​Overnight oats are the perfect make-ahead breakfast—nutritious, easy, and customizable! Made by soaking oats in milk or yogurt overnight, they become creamy and delicious without needing to cook. Just mix the ingredients, refrigerate, and wake up to a ready-to-eat meal!
​A creamy, no-cook oatmeal soaked overnight in milk and topped with fresh strawberries, chia seeds, and honey. A nutritious and easy breakfast!
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
2 eggs
½ cup rolled oats
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
Blend the banana, eggs, oats, cinnamon, and baking powder until smooth.
Heat a non-stick pan and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour small amounts of batter to form pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve warm with banana slices, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

​Flavor Variations & Add-Ins:
🍌 Banana Nut:
  • Add ½ mashed banana to the oats before refrigerating.
  • Top with sliced banana and chopped walnuts.
🍓 Berry Bliss:
  • Mix in ½ cup of fresh or frozen berries before soaking.
  • Add extra fresh berries on top before serving.
🍫 Chocolate Peanut Butter:
  • Stir in 1 tbsp cocoa powder and 1 tbsp peanut butter.
  • Top with chocolate chips and crushed peanuts.
🥥 Tropical Paradise:
  • Use coconut milk instead of regular milk.
  • Add pineapple chunks and shredded coconut.
🎃 Pumpkin Spice:
  • Stir in ¼ cup pumpkin puree and ½ tsp cinnamon.
  • Top with pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.
🍏 Apple Cinnamon:
  • Mix in ½ cup grated apple and ½ tsp cinnamon.
  • Add chopped almonds or pecans on top.
​Tips for the Best Overnight Oats:

​
✔️ Use rolled oats – instant oats get too mushy, and steel-cut oats need more soaking time.
✔️ Adjust thickness – add more milk for a thinner texture or more chia seeds for thickness.
✔️ Sweeten naturally – ripe bananas, apples, or dates can replace added sugars.
✔️ Make multiple servings – prepare jars for the whole week for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
