Overnight Oats are a breakfast that you will need to prepare a night before to consume next morning. You can have it daily, saves a lot of time. All you need is a medium sized wide mouth glass jar that can be closed airtight. There are few basic ingredients to start with, however I have tried many other combinations, shared below.
Equipment
- 2 airtight jars
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (for 2 people)
- 2 cups Rolled Oats/instant oats
- 2-3 varieties of fruits- cut into small cubes
- 1 cup Greek yogurt half cup for each jar
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 1/2 cup Dry fruits chopped
Other topping ideas:
- Cream cheese
- Dark chocolate shaved
- Carrot shredded
- Cornflakes
- Shredded coconut
- Peanut butter
- maple/chocolate syrup
Instructions
The first layer:
- Take a mixing bowl and mix oats, yogurt, honey, cinnamon and vanilla essence in it.
- The mixture shall be of creamy in consistency, add more yogurt if required.
- Divide the mixture into 2 portions and put one by one in each jar, this will be your first layer at the bottom of jar.
The second layer (fruit combinations):
- I combine 2-3 fruits at the same time:
- Banana, apple and grapes
- Strawberry, banana, blueberry
- Mango & banana
- Mango, strawberry and apple etc.
- Apple and orange
- Kiwi, blueberry and banana
- You can make numerous combinations as you like. Cut these fruits one by one and add half-half in each jar.
The third layer:
- Pour some honey over the fruits in each jar and sprinkle some cinnamon powder over it.
- Honey is a great alternative to avoid sugary syrups as a third layer.
Toppings:
- Chop some dry fruits, mixed dry fruits are convenient to keep at home, just take a handful and add half in each jar.
- That’s it. Just close the jar airtight and keep it in the fridge to consume it the next morning.
