Vegan Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats is an extremely healthy and nutritious breakfast that needs no cooking. It is prepared by soaking oats and chia seeds in milk, preferably non-dairy milk. Other ingredients like nut butter, cinnamon and maple syrup are added for nutrition and flavor. The soaked oats is served with fruits and nuts of your choice.

 

WHAT EXACTLY IS OVERNIGHT OATS?

Overnight Oats is one of the simplest and healthiest breakfasts one can make.  All you need to do is soak some rolled oats (not instant oats) in a milk of your choice (I strongly suggest Almond/Soy/Cashew/Coconut Milk) along with Chia seeds. Add some flavorings like vanilla extract, nut butter, cinnamon powder, salt and some sweetener. Let it soak overnight in your refrigeratror. Ta-da! Your breakfast is ready to be served with lots of fresh fruits, dry fruits and nuts! Isn’t it easy, quick and simple to make?

 

1. This is a high fiber breakfast so make sure you drink a lot of water throughout the day.
2. If you do not have Chia seeds you can skip it or try adding Falooda/Basil seeds (I have not tried  Falooda/Basil seeds).
3. I use unsweetened Organic Vanilla Flavored Soy/Almond Milk. You can replace it with any other flavor Soya Milk or use Almond Milk or even the regular low fat milk.
4. You can replace maple syrup with honey.
5. Instead of walnuts, use almonds, pecans or mixture of all.
6. You can use any other fruits like blueberries, strawberries, bananas, apples, etc instead of raspberries.
7. Increase the quantity of maple syrup/honey if you prefer it sweeter.
8. You can top it with some hemp seeds too just before serving to make it healthier.
