This will be a short post.

Overnight Oats are so easy and straight forward  that I usually just post these kind of recipes in Instagram.

But then I thought, some people just want to google these recipes and they won’t be able to find them unless I post them here.

Overnight Oats couldn’t be easier to make.  Just remember the ratio to make overnight oats is usually 1 to 1.  1 measure of old fashioned rolled oats for 1 of the same quantity of liquid, which could be milk, water, almond milk, etc.

I usually use 1 cup of oats plus 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of yogurt,  for thicker consistency. However, this time I used 1 cup of almond milk and 1 cup of oats and it turned out delicious. I added a couple of tablespoons of yogurt just to add a more creamy consistency at the end as a topping.

Speaking of toppings, I would say that they are the best part of overnight oats.

For these I added dry figs, fresh apples and baked apple chips and a drizzle of maple syrup. These turned out the best overnight oats I have ever had!

Here is the recipe…
