Brown Sugar Overnight Oats
Enjoy a creamy, comforting breakfast with these easy Brown Sugar Overnight Oats, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar Adjust for sweetness preference.
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 ripe bananas)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
- 2 cups milk Use dairy or plant-based milk.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until well combined and the brown sugar dissolves into the milk.
- Stir thoroughly so the chia seeds and oats are evenly distributed. A few lumps of banana are fine.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
- When ready to enjoy, top with your choice of fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt.
- Serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes if you prefer a milder chill.
- If you want a warmer bowl, microwave for 30 to 60 seconds and stir. Don’t overheat or it will turn too soft.
Notes
Store leftover overnight oats in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Microwave reheating is the quickest option. Can be customized with various toppings and sweeteners as per preference.
