Purple Overnight Oats

5 from 1 vote

I love to make this recipe with kids because they can do much of the work by themselves and if you’ve spent time with a small child you know they are all about doing things by themselves! Alone, kids can put all ingredients into an air-tight container and stir or shake it up to combine. With assistance, they can measure out the ingredients before adding them to the container.

2 teaspoons chia seeds

Toppings to add right before enjoying:

1 tablespoon nut butter We like almond butter or peanut butter
Additional items you like such as sliced almonds fresh fruit, crushed crunchy cereal

Instructions

Add all ingredients, except toppings, to an air-tight container.
Mix well and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
You can heat the oats in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to remove the chill, if desired. Top with additional toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Yields 1 generous adult serving. Divide recipe in half to make a toddler serving. This will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
