Easy, affordable overnight oats packed with fiber and protein

Overnight oats are a fantastic way to start your morning with minimal effort and cost. Combining oats, chia seeds, and nut butter creates a filling base, while seasonal fruit adds fresh flavor and natural sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats (or homemade muesli)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, if not using muesli)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
• 1/2 cup milk of choice (adjust up to 2/3 cup for thinner oats)
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
• to taste maple syrup or honey (optional drizzle)

Instructions

1. In a jar or bowl, mix the oats (and cinnamon if using), chia seeds, and nut butter. Pour in a small amount of milk first and stir well to blend the nut butter evenly.
2. Add the remaining milk and stir until everything is combined. Top with your chosen fruit.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to five days. Before serving, add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if desired, and enjoy chilled.
