Overnight Oats will change your morning routine and give you and your family a great, healthy start to the day.
As a parent of two kids in school, I learned very quickly that the mornings can be filled with chaos, yelling and stress. And as a result, it’s SO easy to just grab a quick (a.k.a. unhealthy, sugary) breakfast and go.
This recipe gives you the ratios for the Overnight Oat base. Keep in mind that Overnight Oats are just a quick technique to getting some filling and healthy grains in in the morning. They can be topped with fresh or dried fruit, nuts or seeds.
As with all of our recipes, taste as you go & be creative. If you don’t love it, change it and try again!

Fill a 4 oz (or larger) airtight container with dry ingredients
(Mason jars are great for storing overnight oats and can be made in batches)
1-2 nights before you plan to eat your oats, add wet ingredients
The day of eating - add any additional toppings you'd like.
This can be eaten cold or heated up!
Recipe Notes
Tips on Storage: My favorite thing about overnight oats is that you can pre-prep the dried ingredients. Get this...
Get yourself 7-8 (or more) 4 oz. mason jars
Fill each with the dry ingredients (rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds)
raisins and flax seeds could also be added at this point if you'd like
Store in your cabinet or dry storage until you're ready to add milk for the next day
How long does it keep?
The dry ingredients will keep indefinitely as long as it's stored in an airtight container.
Once milk is added, the oats will be good for about 5 days.
(Check for any sour smell as an indicator for going bad)

Hi! It would be really helpful if you could post the ingredient quantities that are shown by weight (oats, milk) in measuring size (tbp, cup, etc).
Hi Rayna! Thank you for the feedback and I will update. The most important thing is to keep with the ratio. If you are doing 1 cup of oats, you would do twice that of milk. Let me know how you like it!
