Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if preferred)
- 2 cups oat milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Flavorings
- 2 tbsp Nutella
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, oat milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt thoroughly to coat the oats evenly. Add maple syrup gradually, tasting to adjust sweetness since Nutella brands vary.
- Divide Oats: Portion the oat mixture into 4 mason jars or small bowls. Add a dollop of Nutella on top of each portion for an extra rich flavor boost.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover and refrigerate the jars or bowls overnight or for a minimum of 2-3 hours. This chilling time allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, creating a creamy texture.
- Adjust Consistency: After soaking, check the texture of your oats. If too thick, stir in additional oat milk gradually until reaching your preferred creaminess.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Garnish your Nutella overnight oats with toppings such as sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or seeds to add flavor, texture, and nutritional benefits.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free if necessary.
- Maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted based on Nutella’s sweetness.
- Oat milk can be substituted with any plant-based milk to maintain the vegan option.
- Ensure nuts or other toppings comply with dietary restrictions if serving others.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for easy meal prep.
