Overnight oats are a practical make-ahead breakfast for busy weeks. The ratio below gives a thick, spoonable texture — loosen it with a splash of milk in the morning if you prefer it thinner.

Method

  1. Add oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener and cinnamon to a jar or container and stir well.
  2. Top with half the berries, seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  3. In the morning, stir, add the remaining berries and enjoy cold — or warm it for 60 seconds in the microwave.

Cook's notes

  • Make three or four jars at once; they keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Use rolled oats rather than instant oats, which turn mushy.
Allergy note: Always check ingredient labels for allergens such as gluten, dairy, nuts, soy and eggs, particularly when cooking for others.
