Method (Detailed)

Mix the Base

Start by getting your clean jar or container ready. This will be where all the ingredients come together. In the jar, add 50 grams of oats, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of your favorite yogurt, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 50 milliliters of soy milk. These ingredients make up the base of your overnight oats. Once everything is in, use a spoon to stir it really well. This step is super important mixing helps the chia seeds spread out evenly so they can soak properly and thicken the oats overnight.

Add the Toppings

Now it’s time to give your oats a little extra love! Chop up one small apple into small pieces and add it right on top of the oat mixture. Then, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of raisins and a small handful of chopped nuts. If you want a creamier texture or more layers, feel free to add a spoonful of extra yogurt on top as well. These toppings will soak slightly into the oats overnight, giving your breakfast both crunch and sweetness.

Let It Chill Overnight

After everything is mixed and topped, close the lid tightly on your jar. This keeps all the ingredients fresh and helps the oats soak properly. Place the jar in the fridge and let it sit overnight or for at least 6 hours. While it rests, the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid and flavors, turning into a thick and creamy texture by morning.

Enjoy in the Morning

When you wake up, your breakfast is ready and waiting! You can eat it cold straight from the jar, or if you like warm oats, you can pour it into a bowl and microwave it for a short time. Add any extra toppings you like, such as more fruit, yogurt, or a little drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Now grab a spoon and enjoy a tasty, healthy, and cozy start to your day!
