1. Mix Ingredients
Start by mixing together the oats, dried fruit, chia seeds, milk, and kosher salt in a pint jar or a 2-cup airtight resealable container. Ensure that all the ingredients are fully submerged in the liquid and evenly mixed.
2. Refrigerate
Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least five hours or up to five days.
3. Serve
When you’re ready to enjoy your overnight oats, uncover the container and give the mixture a good stir. Taste and add maple syrup if desired. Top with toasted chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
Choose high-quality, old-fashioned rolled oats, full-fat yogurt, and reputable almond milk or other preferred milk for the best texture and flavor.
The oats-to-liquid ratio is crucial for a creamy texture, starting with a 1:1 ratio and adjusting as needed for consistency.
Use fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, and spices to transform your oats, adding crunchy elements in the morning to prevent sogginess.
Deepen the flavor by infusing your milk with vanilla bean, cinnamon sticks, or citrus zest before adding to the oats.
Create an aesthetically pleasing dish by layering your oats with fruit compotes, nut butter, or yogurt for a parfait effect.
