Ingredients

For the Overnight Oats:

1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk - I use almond or oat See Note 1
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup (80 g) old fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds See Note 2
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Toppings:

125 g (4.4 oz) blackberries See Note 3
½ cup (125 ml) Greek yoghurt

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, add all of the ingredients except for the blackberries and yoghurt.
Mix well until everything is well combined.
Cover the bowl with clingwrap, or divide the mixture into two glasses or mason jars and cover. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, top with Greek yoghurt and fresh blackberries.

Notes

Milk: use milk of your choice. I use almond or oat milk. Add more milk when serving if you prefer a thinner texture.
Tablespoon: we use a standard Australian tablespoon which is 20 ml (4 teaspoons).
Blackberries: fresh or frozen will work. If using frozen, allow them to defrost in the fridge overnight before topping the oats.
Storage: for the best taste and texture, enjoy the Blackberry Overnight Oats within three days.
