Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds

Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds (Almond Milk Version)

print recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups unsweetened almond milk (or skim/low-fat milk)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • ¾ cup chopped peaches (thawed if frozen; drained if canned)
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans, plus 2 tbsp divided
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup (optional)

Directions

  • Combine almond milk [or cow’s milk], oats, yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, ½ cup peaches and ¼ cup pecans in a medium bowl; stir to mix well.
  • Cover and refrigerate until the oats have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened, at least 8 hours.
  • Divide the oats between two bowls. Top each bowl with 2 tablespoons peaches and 1 tablespoon pecans. Drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
  • Or if you prefer, divide the mixture between two jars, so you can take your oats on the go. You can keep the prepared recipe in the airtight jars for up to 5 days. When ready to eat, remove a jar from the refrigerator and give the ingredients a stir. Garnish with maple syrup, if using, and enjoy.
