Description

This Easy Chai Spiced Overnight Oats recipe is a delicious and nutritious make-ahead breakfast featuring rolled oats soaked overnight in a blend of Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and warming chai spices.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (rolled oats, not quick oats)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp chai spice (see notes for homemade chai spice recipe)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Optional Toppings

  • Nut butter
  • Granola
  • Sliced banana, apple, or pear

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, chia seeds, and chai spice to evenly distribute the flavors and seeds.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the plain Greek yogurt, your preferred milk, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a cohesive mixture.
  3. Portion and Refrigerate: Divide the oat mixture evenly among 3 airtight containers or mason jars. Seal them tightly and place in the refrigerator to soak for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Serve with Toppings: Remove the overnight oats from the fridge in the morning, add your choice of toppings such as nut butter, granola, or fresh sliced fruit, and enjoy a quick, flavorful breakfast.

Notes

  • Homemade Chai Spice: To make your own chai spice blend, combine 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground cardamom, 2 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp allspice, and 1/2 tsp ground cloves. Store in an airtight jar and use in various recipes like overnight oats, lattes, and baked goods.
  • Storage Tips: Store overnight oats in sealed airtight containers in the fridge. The oats need to soak a minimum of 4 hours, but for best texture and flavor, soak overnight (8 hours). Prepared overnight oats will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
