Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
  • Fresh fruit for topping (such as sliced bananas or berries)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt together until well combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Oats and Liquid: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well until all the oats are soaked and evenly distributed.
  4. Add Pecan Pieces: Gently fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Optional Creaminess: If you prefer your oats creamier, mix in the Greek yogurt at this stage.
  6. Refrigerate: Divide the mixture into individual jars or containers. Seal them and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the oats soak up the liquid.
  7. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they are too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency. Top with fresh fruit and additional pecans, and drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired.
  8. Enjoy: Your hearty and delicious Maple Pecan Overnight Oats are ready to enjoy as a nutritious breakfast!

Notes

  • For a thicker consistency, use less liquid. For a thinner consistency, add more milk or yogurt.
  • Toasting the pecans before adding them can enhance their flavor.
  • This recipe is suitable for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
