Description
Overnight oats with flaxseed are a creamy, fiber-rich make-ahead breakfast that supports digestion, balances energy, and adapts easily to your flavor preferences.
Ingredients
½ cup (45 g) old fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon (7 g) ground flax seed
1–3 teaspoons maple syrup, or to taste
½ cup (118 ml) plant-based milk
2 tablespoons (20 g) raisins OR 1 tablespoon peanut butter
Dash of ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. Add rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and plant-based milk to a mason jar or sealed container.
2. Stir in maple syrup and either raisins or peanut butter.
3. Add a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
4. Mix all ingredients thoroughly so flaxseed doesn’t clump.
5. Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
6. In the morning, stir again and enjoy cold or warm.
Notes
Use ground flaxseed for best texture and nutrient absorption—whole seeds won’t soften well.
Want it thicker? Stir in Greek yogurt or reduce milk slightly.
For a lighter option, increase milk or mix in kefir.
This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for weekly meal prep.
