Description
As a busy mom and passionate home cook, I’m always on the lookout for breakfast solutions that satisfy my family without consuming precious morning minutes. That’s precisely why I adore these Caramel Dream Brown Sugar Overnight Oats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
- 1/2 banana, sliced (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans (for crunch)
- A drizzle of maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the brown sugar is well mixed and dissolved.
- If you want extra creaminess, fold in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the oats in bowls and top with sliced banana, chopped walnuts or pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste by adding more or less brown sugar.
- For a vegan option, omit the Greek yogurt or replace it with a plant-based yogurt.
- Can be prepared in advance for a quick breakfast.
