Servings 3 portions
Calories 249kcal
Ingredients
- 250 ml jumbo rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla sugar
- 200 ml milk
- 100 ml Greek yoghurt, skyr or similar
- 1/2 large orange, juice and finely grated zest
- 2 tbsp maple syrup, honey or similar
- 1 pinch salt
To serve
- Greek yoghurt, skyr or similar
- Orange segments
- Granola or something else crunchy, optional
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well to combine.
- Cover with a lid and chill for at least 2-3 hours – but preferably overnight.You can also mix the ingredients in 2 serving glasses with lids. Leave enough room for the toppings the next day, and you have a breakfast that is easy to take on the go, or simply a glass to grab in the morning or for a quick lunch.
- Before serving, give the oats a good stir, and adjust the consistency with more milk, yoghurt or orange juice if needed.Taste and add more orange zest if you like.
- Divide the oats between 2 serving glasses and top with a couple of tablespoons of yoghurt or skyr, fresh orange segments and, if you like, a little granola, nuts or similar.
Tips for overnight oats
- Overnight oats keep for 4-5 days in the fridge – make sure all the ingredients are fresh. I prefer to make enough for 1-2 days at a time. It takes no time to stir together, and that way I can vary the flavours.
- I recommend using jumbo rolled oats, as they give the oats a really pleasing consistency and texture. To my taste, fine rolled oats can turn a little mushy, but that is of course a matter of preference.
