What are overnight oats?

I could call them a “time saver” meal because you literally add all ingredients into a container, refrigerate overnight and breakfast is ready the next morning. They are generally served chilled but if it’s weird for you, microwave for 45 seconds!

Ingredients to make Chunky Monkey Overnight Oats

• Rolled oats – You can use anay type of oats like, quick oats.
• Oat flour – I love using oat flour because it gives a THICKER consistency. Protein powder works as well if you would like a protein BOOST!
• Flaxseed – Great for thickening the oats, specially if made overnight! They are high in Omega-3, fiber and you won’t taste anything of it.
• Milk of choice – Feel free to add the one of your preference. I use unsweetened almond milk, which has many healthy benefits, doesn’t raise blood sugar, it’s high in vitamin D and may strengthen your bones.
• Sweetener – I used honey but if you are vegan, use maple syrup instead.
• Peanut butter – Make sure your peanut butter it’s 100% made out from peanuts and not with weird and unnecessary added oils.
• Chocolate chips – Mine are sugar-free. Use any!
• Himalayan Salt
• Water

Do you need to cook overnight oats?

Absolutely not! That’s why they are so easy and quick to make. Because rolled oats soak in the liquid overnight.

Can make multiple overnight oats recipes?

YES! Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2-3 days in advance for the week. I used to do it whenever I had early morning UNI classes! I only had to grab breakfast straight from the fridge and I was ready to go.

Can I eat overnight oats hot?

YES! Especially for those cold mornings or you simply don’t feel to eat a cold breakfast. There are two ways:

• Microwave: Grab the overnight oats from the fridge, microwave for 45-60 seconds (make sure there’s enough space at the top of your jar to prevent overflowing). 
• Stove-top: Transfer to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warmed through.
