Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup oats
  • ½ cup soy milk (or any plant milk), more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds

Spices & Flavorings

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon turmeric (for color)

Sweeteners & Mix-ins

  • 1 Medjool date
  • ¼ cup shredded carrot

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place all the oats, soy milk, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, Medjool date, shredded carrot, coconut flakes, and walnuts in a jar or bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir or mix well to ensure all oats are fully incorporated and combined with the liquids and other ingredients.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours to allow the oats and seeds to soak and absorb the moisture.
  4. Serve: After chilling, stir the oats again before eating. Add additional plant milk if a looser consistency is preferred. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • These overnight oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, but taste best within the first two days for optimal texture.
  • The base ingredients of oats, plant milk, and carrots can be varied to suit preferences.
  • Seeds and walnuts add protein and texture; protein powder can be used as an alternative.
  • For sweetness, Medjool dates can be swapped for maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Feel free to customize toppings and spices to your liking for new variations.
