Brown sugar overnight oats offer a sweet and wholesome blend of oats, brown sugar, and milk, providing a creamy, satisfying, and slightly indulgent breakfast or snack. This no-cook recipe is customizable and perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)

2 tablespoons brown sugar (or to taste)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added texture)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, brown sugar, chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
  2. Cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
  3. The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If you'd like a creamier texture, add a little more milk to adjust the consistency.
  4. Serve the oats as is or top them with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or granola.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat dairy or a rich plant-based milk.
  • Can be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep—make several jars at once and store them in the fridge.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and ensure your sweetener is vegan-friendly.
