Notes

  • Top Tips: Check out our expert tips above.
  • Type of oats: This recipe works best with old-fashioned, large flaked oats.
  • Topping Ideas: Toppings are essential to make this simple breakfast taste delicious! Try adding fresh fruit, nut butters (peanut butter, homemade almond butter), nuts & seeds (add a brazil nut for some extra selenium), dried fruit pieces, 2-Ingredient Caramel Sauce, coconut flakes, protein powder...
  • Meal Prep: Overnight oats will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. This means you could prepare a big batch on Sunday night and won't need to think about breakfast until the middle of the week. Give the mix a good stir each time before serving.
