Cozy Overnight Maple Oatmeal

Healthy Fact of the Day

Maple syrup was first collected and used by indigenous peoples of North America long before European settlers arrived. Oats are rich in beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

 

Toppings:

  • Sliced almonds
  • Fresh berries
  • Extra maple syrup
  • Dollop of Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine oats, milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.

  2. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.

  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.

  4. In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.

  5. Divide the oatmeal between two bowls.

  6. Top with sliced almonds, fresh berries, a drizzle of extra maple syrup, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Spoon into this creamy, maple-infused oatmeal and let the sweet, comforting flavors gently ease you into the day. Each bite is a perfect balance of nutty oats, luscious maple, and fresh toppings, creating a breakfast that’s not just nourishing but also feels like a warm hug in a bowl. With this delightful start, you’re sure to conquer whatever the day brings – all powered by the magic of maple and oats!
