Brown Sugar Overnight Oats
Creamy, sweet, and easy to make, Brown Sugar Overnight Oats are perfect for busy mornings and can be prepared ahead of time.
Ingredients
For the Base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar adjust to taste
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 ripe bananas)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (or more, to taste)
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy as preferred)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the perfect texture.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, stir the oat mixture again and top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Should be consumed within 3-5 days. If you prefer your oats warm, microwave a portion for about 30 seconds, stirring halfway through.
