Creamy Overnight Oats with Fruit & Chia Seeds
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (regular or plant-based like almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 mashed banana (for natural sweetness)
- 1/2 cup yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup mixed fruits (strawberries, blueberries, banana, or your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- Honey or mashed dates (optional, if you want it sweeter)
Instructions:
- In a jar or container, mix the oats, milk, and chia seeds.
- Add the mashed banana, vanilla, and cinnamon, then stir well.
- For a creamier texture, add yogurt and mix again.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (6–8 hours).
- In the morning, stir and top with fresh fruits
Serving ideas:
- Peanut butter + banana
- Berries + a drizzle of honey
- Apple + cinnamon
- Dark chocolate shavings for a “healthy dessert” version
Tip:
- For thicker oats → use less milk
- For lighter texture → add a splash of milk in the morning
