    This overnight oats recipe is quick and easy to prepare. It is moderately low in calories and ideal for breakfast, lunch or a snack. You can prepare this recipe at night and store in the refrigerator for the following day.

    overnight oats

    These overnight oats are packed with nutrition and contain 11.4 grams of protein and 10.9 grams of fibre. The chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds contain a range of vitamins and minerals that are good for health. The strawberries and blueberries make this recipe sweet and delicious. You could also add other ingredients such as nut butter and desiccated coconut.

    Ingredients for Overnight Oats with Berries

    • 20g whole porridge oats
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
    • 120ml milk of choice
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon golden syrup or honey
    • 65g blueberries
    • 65g strawberries
    • 1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds
    • 1 teaspoon sunflower seeds

    How to Make Overnight Oats with Berries

    1. To a bowl or mason jar, add the porridge oats and chia seeds. Pour in the milk then add the vanilla extract, cinnamon and syrup.

    2. Stir the oats and cover. Note that at this point the mixture will look runny. Store in the fridge overnight. The following day the mixture will be thicker and creamier due to the oats and chia seeds absorbing the milk.

    3. When you are ready to eat your overnight oats, remove the bowl from the fridge and then rinse the blueberries and strawberries. Slice the strawberries and add them along with the blueberries to the oats. Sprinkle on the pumpkin and sunflower seeds then enjoy.

    4. Altrenatively, if you want to save time, you can add all the ingredients to a bowl or mason jar. Stir with a spoon then cover and consume the following morning.

    Recipe Tips

    • Try and use 100% porridge oats for the best results. Quick cook oats will still work but I find whole oats work best.
    • If following a gluten free diet then ensure the oats are gluten free by checking the label. Oats are naturally gluten free but sometimes they are produced in factories that also produce wheat products so cross contamination could occur.
    • Also ensure the ground cinnamon is gluten free if following a gluten free diet.
    • The chia seeds are important for this recipe but the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds can be replaced by any seeds of choice.
    • Any milk of choice can be used.
    • When you initially prepare the oats, the mixture will be watery but overnight the chia seeds and oats will absorb the milk and the mixture will become thick and creamy.
    • Though it is called overnight oats you can enjoy this recipe on the day it is prepared. Just prepare 4 hours in advance and store in the fridge.
