Ingredients

Nutella overnight oats ingredients.
  • Old fashioned oats (rolled) or quick oats: Rolled oats provide a nicer texture to overnight oats than quick oats. They are slightly chewier in texture and absorb more liquid than quick oats. This makes the overnight oats creamier and more pleasant in texture.
  • Nutella: Adds a rich and decadent taste to the oats.
  • Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt: Used to add creaminess to the oats, yogurt also adds a tangy flavor. Greek yogurt is a great source of protein, while plant-based yogurt can be a good option for those who are lactose intolerant.
  • Milk of choice: Milk can be used to adjust the consistency of the oats to your liking, you can use any kind of milk you like such as dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.
  • Chia seeds or basil seeds: If you can’t get chia seeds, you can always use basil seeds. They help to thicken the overnight oats and give a nice texture.
  • Maple syrup: Used to sweeten the oats. Maple syrup can also add a nice maple flavor to the oats. You can adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste.
  • Vanilla extract
