How to Make Overnight Oats
- Add half cup rolled or ¾ cup quick oats to the jar. Quick ones are precooked and dehydrated, so if possible use rolled oats. But the nutrition in rolled and quick variety is almost the same.
- Pour milk just enough to immerse them. You can use any vegan milk too like organic soya, coconut or almond milk. You can use any fresh fruit juice too instead of milk.
- I prefer to add in some nut since soaking enhances the nutrition. You can add any of your favorite nuts. I added few broken walnuts.
- Add some chopped dates. Top with little more milk. You can skip dates and add any sweetener.
- Cover and refrigerate over night or at least for 4 hours.
- The next morning all the ingredients are soaked well.
- You can add your favorite toppings. I like to add some fresh grated coconut. You can also use some frozen coconut.
- Then lot of chopped nuts, seeds and then few more chopped dates. I used some pumpkin seeds, almonds and dates. You can even add some choco chips, chopped chocolate, sesame seeds or sunflower seeds. Half cup of rolled oat with half cup of toppings go well for us. You can use however you like. Related Recipes
