HOW TO MAKE OVERNIGHT OATS WITH BERRIES AND HONEY?
1. Prepare the Base:
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
2. Add the Berries:
- Gently fold in the mixed berries, reserving a few for topping later.
3. Store in Jars:
- Divide the oat mixture into two jars or airtight containers. If you prefer, layer the oats and berries to create a visually appealing effect.
4. Refrigerate Overnight:
- Cover the jars and place them in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
5. Serve:
- In the morning, remove the jars from the fridge. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with additional fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, and sliced almonds or granola for added texture, if desired.
Tips:
- For a thicker consistency, add more oats or Greek yogurt.
- Experiment with different types of milk, berries, and sweeteners to find your favorite combination.
- Prep a batch of overnight oats ahead of time for a quick and easy breakfast during the week.
