Introduction

Overnight oatmeal is a quick and nutritious breakfast that you prepare the night before. This creamy, fruit-filled version combines oats with chia seeds and a touch of honey for natural sweetness. It’s perfect for busy mornings when you want something healthy and ready to eat.

A white bowl filled with three main layers: the bottom layer is light-colored oatmeal with visible grains soaked in milk, the middle layer consists of bright yellow mango chunks scattered unevenly, and the top layer is dotted with fresh, plump blueberries that are deep blue with a smooth texture, some blueberries resting on top while others mix into the oatmeal. Nearby, there is a white marbled surface covered with a yellow cloth, on which a white cup with red stripes filled with a white liquid sits, and a blurry spoon lies in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
2 teaspoons Chia Seeds

1/2 cup Milk
To taste Mango

To taste Fresh Blueberries
To taste Raisins

To taste Ground Cinnamon
To taste Honey
To taste Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Step 1: In a half-pint mason jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, mango, fresh blueberries, raisins, ground cinnamon, honey, and vanilla extract according to your taste preferences.
Step 2: Screw the lid on tightly and place the jar in the refrigerator overnight to let the oats and chia seeds soak and soften.
Step 3: The next morning, pour the contents into a bowl and microwave for 1 minute to warm the oatmeal before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use almond milk or any plant-based milk as a dairy-free alternative.
Add nuts such as almonds or walnuts for extra crunch and protein.
Swap mango and blueberries for other fruits like strawberries or bananas depending on the season.

Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using maple syrup instead.

Storage

Store the prepared overnight oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you prefer, reheat gently in the microwave for about 1 minute or until warm, stirring halfway through for even heating.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Quick oats can be used, but they will result in a softer, less textured oatmeal. Rolled oats hold their shape better and provide a creamier consistency.

Is it necessary to cook the oatmeal after soaking overnight?

It’s not necessary to cook it if you prefer cold oatmeal, but warming it for a minute in the microwave enhances the texture and flavor.
