After more than a year, i'm finally back! I know that i'm late in this game but i've only recently tried overnight oats and instantly fell in love with it. (and you're probably tired of seeing it countless times on my insta story)
Overnight oats are healthy, quick and easy to make. One cup of oatmeal contains about 150 calories, 4 grams of fiber (about half soluble and half insoluble), and 6 grams of protein. In addition to fiber, oatmeal is rich in thiamine, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, selenium, and iron. [yes i just copied that from Google, duh 😂]
This can be eaten as a dessert/snack or for breakfast. Overnight oats does not require cooking and is perfect for busy mornings. Not to mention this recipe only requires 4 ingredients! How simple~ 😍
This delicious recipe is a guaranteed no fail recipe.
Level: Extremely Easy
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons quick/instant oats
- 4 tablespoons milk (of your choice)
- ½ tablespoon honey
- ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- sliced fruit of your choice (optional)
Notes:
Any oat would be fine. I use quick/instant oats because they're softer but you can use regular oats if you like more texture.
(you can make however much you want as long as the ratio of oats, milk, honey and cocoa are in an 8:8:1:1 ratio)
Directions:
I usually mix the dry ingredients (oats & cocoa powder) first in the container that I want to store them in.
Then i'll mix the wet ingredients (milk & honey) in a separate small bowl until well combined before pouring it into the dry ingredients. Mix them well and spread it evenly across the container to make sure all the oats get to absorb the same amount of liquid.
Put the lid on and keep it in the refrigerator for around 12 hours before consuming.
Serve it cold (makes it taste like chocolate pudding) with some sliced fruits as topping. 😋
