Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or yogurt your choice
- 1 cup mixed fruits such as berries, bananas, apples, chopped
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey or to taste
Instructions
- Mix Oats and Milk/Yogurt: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats with your choice of milk or yogurt. Stir until the oats are fully immersed in the liquid.
- Incorporate Fruits and Nuts: Fold in half of the chopped fruits and nuts into the oat mixture, allowing them to blend flavors overnight.
- Add Honey: Pour honey over the mixture and stir well, ensuring it’s evenly distributed for a balanced sweetness.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for a minimum of 6-8 hours. This duration lets the oats absorb the liquid and soften, while the flavors meld together.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Before serving, stir the oat mixture. If it seems too thick, adjust the consistency with a bit more milk or yogurt. Top each serving with the remaining fresh fruits and nuts.
