My son absolutely LOVE Overnight Oats. I was a bit surprise because my son will not eat warm oatmeal for breakfast, even if I add fruits to it. For some reason, when it's serve cold he thinks its a special dessert.
Ingredients (Measurements may vary depending on container used)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of liquid of your choice (I use almond milk vanilla flavor unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla yogurt (depend how thick you want your overnight oats, you can always add more right before eating)
- 1 teaspoon of chia seeds
- 1/4 banana, mashed (I skipped this cuz I didn't want to be eating brown bananas, instead I added the banana's right before eating)
- 4 pcs of strawberries, chopped
- dark chocolate chips (optional)
- honey (optional, for added sweetness - I don't like honey in mine)
Instructions
- Add the desired based ingredients to your container. In this case, this would be the oats, yogurt, and chia seeds.
- Add your liquid to your base, I used almond milk vanilla flavor
- Add your strawberries
- In the morning you can add additional liquid or toppings you like. I like adding the bananas in the morning to avoid eating brown bananas. Before you eat your overnight oats mix it well and enjoy!
Things your little one can do
- They can make their own overnight oats in their own cup or container
- They can add their own base ingredients, liquid, followed by the mix-ins of their choice
