Overnight Oats

overnightoats
I have fallen in love with overnight oats.  They are so easy to make and you can make a few and keep in fridge for the week.  Seeing that I have had to decrease my bad cholesterol and raise my good cholesterol, this is a great recipe to do just that.  Plenty of fiber each morning for the bad cholesterol and the chia seeds to increase the good.  Did I mention how easy this is to make?  Y’all are going to love it.  Plus you can change it up to whatever you might like.  I have omitted the maple syrup and blueberries and added 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder and 1 packet of artificial sweetener and found it makes a great chocolate oatmeal.  Let me know what changes you come up with.  I’d love to hear from y’all.
INGREDIENTS
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats (not minute oats)
  • ½ cup milk (I’ve been using almond milk)
  • ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup (I used sugar free)
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
DIRECTIONS
  1. Combine all ingredients in a mason jar. Seal with a lid and shake to mix. I just love mason jars.
  2. Refrigerate overnight and up to 3-5 days.
