At its core, overnight oats are a no-cook method of making oatmeal that involves soaking rolled oats in liquid overnight. This simple process allows the oats to absorb the liquid, resulting in a creamy texture that’s ready to eat by morning. The beauty of overnight oats lies in their convenience; you can prepare several jars at once, making it easy to enjoy a nutritious breakfast throughout the week.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 medium ripe pear, diced (leave the skin on for added fiber)

½ cup fresh or dried cranberries (adjust based on sweetness preference)

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Toppings (optional): chopped walnuts, chia seeds, extra pear slices, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions
 

Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl or large jar, add the rolled oats, almond milk, diced pear, cranberries, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

    Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined. Make sure the oats are fully immersed in the liquid.

      Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors.

        Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can adjust the consistency by adding a little more almond milk if you prefer a creamier texture.

          Add Toppings: Top the oats with your choice of toppings, such as chopped walnuts for crunch, chia seeds for added nutrition, or extra pear slices and a dollop of yogurt for creaminess.

            Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious and healthy Pear & Cranberry Overnight Oats cold, or you can warm them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
