Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 fresh fig sliced
- 1 tbsp chopped pecans or any nut
- 1/2 tbsp raw honey
Instructions
- Start by gathering your ingredients. You will need quick oats, almond milk, chia seeds, a fresh fig, chopped pecans, and honey. It's best to have everything measured out to make the process smoother.
- In a jar or a container with a lid, add 1/4 cup of quick oats, 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk, and 1/2 tbsp of chia seeds. This combination will form the base of your overnight oats, creating a creamy mixture.
- Next, stir the mixture well to ensure everything is combined. This helps the oats absorb the almond milk and chia seeds evenly, which is key to getting the right texture.
- Cover the jar or container with its lid and let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 to 2 hours, or overnight if you prefer. The longer it sits, the creamier it will become!
- When you’re ready to enjoy your oats, take them out of the fridge. If you like your oats at room temperature, let them sit for a few minutes. Otherwise, you can heat them up slightly in the microwave.
- Top your oats with the sliced fresh fig, a drizzle of raw honey, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans. This adds a beautiful visual appeal and elevates the flavor of your dish.
- Give everything a gentle stir to mix the toppings in or leave them on top for presentation. Enjoy your delicious Overnight Oats with Figs and Honey!
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. Just remember to give it a good stir before enjoying.
- Freezing: You can freeze the oats if you want to prepare them further in advance. Just thaw them overnight in the fridge before eating.
- Pairing: These oats pair beautifully with a side of Greek yogurt or a smoothie for added protein.
- Variations: Feel free to switch out the figs for other fruits depending on the season or your preference.
- Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey based on your sweetness preference; you can even omit it if you prefer a less sweet breakfast.
