Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup non-dairy milk I use soy milk
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoon yogurt of choice either non-dairy yogurt or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice maple syrup, agave syrup, or honey
- Small pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- To a medium bowl or an air-tight container, add all of the ingredients. You can also add them in a mason jar if you need to grab it for an on-the-go breakfast in the morning.½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup non-dairy milk, 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal, 3 tablespoon yogurt of choice, 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice, Small pinch of salt, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Using a spoon or a spatula, give everything a good stir. Cover with a lid or a clean kitchen towel and let the oats soak for at least 3 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Your flaxseed overnight oats are ready when the rolled oats have softened and absorbed the liquid. At this point, you can adjust the consistency if needed, adding a tablespoon of milk if you need to thin it out.
- After that, either store for later, or add your favorite toppings of choice and enjoy! I like to add sliced bananas, strawberries, and chocolate chips.
