At the heart of any overnight oats recipe is the rolled oats, which serve as the primary base for this breakfast dish. Rolled oats are a whole grain that undergoes a steaming process followed by flattening, which allows them to absorb liquid effectively. This unique texture is what makes them ideal for overnight soaking, leading to a creamy, satisfying consistency by morning.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 cup)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated zucchini, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

    Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.

      If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts (or pecans) and raisins (or chocolate chips) for added texture and flavor.

        Divide the mixture into two jars or containers with lids, ensuring an even distribution.

          Seal the containers and refrigerate them overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

            In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, you can add a splash more of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

              Top with additional nuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt if you like before serving.
