Overnight Oats

To make overnight oats with chia seeds and fresh fruits, start by combining 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl. Then, add water or your choice of milk and stir well. Chop a red apple and mix it in. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, top with diced watermelon and drizzle with honey before serving.

Yes, you can easily make this overnight oats recipe vegan-friendly by substituting the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Additionally, use plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk instead of regular milk.

If you don't have rolled oats, you can use quick oats or steel-cut oats, but the texture may vary. For chia seeds, you can substitute with flaxseeds. Instead of red apple, feel free to use any other fruit like bananas, berries, or peaches. You can also swap honey for any sweetener of your choice.

Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Just make sure to keep them in an airtight container. If you plan to add fresh fruits like watermelon, it's best to add them just before serving to maintain their freshness.

There are many delicious toppings you can pair with overnight oats! Consider adding nuts like almonds or walnuts for crunch, seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for added nutrition, or yogurt for creaminess. You can also sprinkle some granola or add a dollop of nut butter for extra flavor.
