Why You'll Love Quick & Easy Overnight Oats with Figs

Oats and almond milk go into a jar with a pinch of salt, then chill in the fridge for at least 6 to 8 hours, or overnight. In the morning, sliced figs go on top and it's ready to eat cold or at room temperature. Make a few jars at once and breakfast is handled for most of the week.

Tips and Tricks

• Use a large jar or multiple small jars: Great for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
• Don't skimp on liquid: Oats soak up more than you think-add extra almond milk so they stay creamy.
• Stir before refrigerating: Even distribution ensures all oats absorb flavor and liquid evenly.

Variations

Overnight oats are easy to make your own-try these ideas:

• Fruit swap: Top with sliced banana, berries, or stewed apples if figs aren't available.
• Protein boost: Stir in chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
• Warm it up: Heat gently in the microwave the next morning for a cozy version.

Substitutions

Missing something? No problem:

• @Urthmeal → Rolled oats: Any good-quality rolled oats will do the trick.
• Almond milk → Oat, coconut, or dairy milk: Use your favorite liquid base.
• Figs → Dried fruit: Try raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates for sweetness and chew.

Best Served With

• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
• Crushed nuts or seeds for crunch
• A spoonful of yogurt for creaminess
• Alongside your morning coffee or matcha

How to Store Leftovers

• Overnight oats will keep in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Store in individual jars for easy grab-and-go mornings. If they thicken too much, just stir in a splash of milk before serving.
• Add fruit right before eating for the freshest flavor and texture.
