Ingredients

Oats Mixture

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 tbsp toasted pecans, chopped
  • 1 tbsp toasted walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine Milk and Oats: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix 1 cup of milk with 1 cup of rolled oats to ensure the oats are fully immersed in the liquid for proper softening overnight.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Stir in 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to the oats mixture, blending well to distribute the flavors evenly.
  3. Divide and Refrigerate: Pour the oat mixture evenly into two serving containers. Cover them securely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors fully.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon each of toasted chopped pecans and walnuts over the oats for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor contrast.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk to make it dairy-free.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of brown sugar and maple syrup according to taste preferences.
  • To toast nuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for convenient make-ahead breakfasts.
  • For added texture, consider including chia seeds or flaxseeds in the mixture before refrigerating.
