Overnight oats are made by soaking rolled oats in liquid overnight-or for several hours. This is a no-cook way to make oatmeal. When you soak the raw oats, they absorb the liquid, making them soft and ready to eat without cooking.
They're easy to prepare, so if you have a busy morning, your breakfast is ready. And, you can prepare a two or three days worth if you want to be really efficient with your time.
You can make your overnight oats to suit your taste, but it's best to use plain, old-fashioned rolled oats for the best results. You can also use gluten-free oats. Quick oats aren't recommended.
Mason jars are perfect for overnight oats, since the size is just right, and they come with lids. If you don't have Mason jars, a small bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap, will work in a pinch.
Here's everything you need to make this plant-based overnight oats recipe. You can use any of your favorite berries to top your oats, and after making this recipe a couple of times, you might want to experiment with other flavors and ingredients.
To make overnight oats, put your ingredients into a medium jar with a lid. Then, stir to combine. Be sure to mix well so all of the oats and chia seeds are immersed in the almond milk. Next, put the lid on the jar and refrigerate for least four hours (or overnight).
These high-protein overnight oats are so nutritious. Besides protein, oats provide important vitamins and minerals, are a great source of fiber, can lower cholesterol, and can even help you lose weight.

Your overnight oats will last in the refrigerator for about three days, so you can make a few days worth of these quick grab-and-go breakfasts ahead of time.
