Easy Overnight Oats with Yogurt and Fruit

These easy overnight oats are a practical make-ahead breakfast that takes only a few minutes to prepare the night before.

Rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds and honey soften together in the fridge, then fresh fruit adds color and natural sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats, about 45 g
• 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk, about 120 ml
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt, about 60 g
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
• Fresh fruit, such as berries, banana or apple, for topping

How to Make Easy Overnight Oats

Add the Oats

Place the rolled oats in a jar or bowl with enough room for stirring and toppings.

Stir in Milk and Yogurt

Add the milk and yogurt, then stir well so the oats are fully coated and can soften evenly.

Add Chia and Sweetener

Mix in the chia seeds and honey or maple syrup. The chia seeds help thicken the oats as they rest.

Chill Overnight

Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight. In the morning, stir again and top with fresh fruit.

Helpful Tips

If the oats are too thick, add a splash of milk before serving. For a sweeter bowl, add extra fruit rather than too much syrup.

Conclusion

Overnight oats are simple, flexible and easy to customize. They are ideal when you want a quick breakfast ready as soon as you wake up.
