Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s Overnight Oats are made by soaking rolled oats in milk or a dairy-free alternative overnight, allowing them to soften and absorb flavors without the need for cooking. This cold, porridge-style breakfast becomes creamy and satisfying by morning. Jamie typically adds fruit, nuts, seeds, or yogurt for variety and nutrition, making it easy to tailor to your preferences.

Ingredients

  • Rolled oats – 100g (1 cup)

  • Milk (or plant-based milk) – 200ml (¾ cup + 1 tbsp)

  • Greek yogurt – 2 tablespoons (optional for creaminess)

  • Honey or maple syrup – 1 tablespoon

  • Chia seeds – 1 teaspoon (optional for texture and nutrients)

  • Fresh fruit – a handful (e.g., berries, banana slices, grated apple)

  • Nuts or seeds – 1 tablespoon (e.g,. almonds, sunflower seeds)

  • Cinnamon or vanilla – a pinch (optional for flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the Base Ingredients

  • Add oats, milk, and yogurt (if using) to a bowl or jar.

  • Stir in honey, chia seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor.

  • Mix thoroughly to ensure oats are fully coated.

Step 2: Add Fruit and Nuts

  • Stir in grated apple, mashed banana, or berries at this stage or save them for topping in the morning.

  • Add chopped nuts or seeds if you like crunch.

Step 3: Cover and Refrigerate

  • Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or cling film.

  • Refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).

Step 4: Serve

  • Give it a quick stir in the morning.

  • Top with more fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.

  • Serve chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if preferred.
