Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Maple Pecan Overnight Oats, perfect for a fall breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup crushed pecans
- 1/2 cup chopped pears (optional)
- Additional maple syrup for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- In a spacious bowl, mix together the rolled oats, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla essence, ground nutmeg, and sea salt until everything is thoroughly blended.
- Gently incorporate the crushed pecans and chopped pears if you choose to include them.
- Spoon the mixture into four jars or airtight containers, ensuring an even distribution.
- Cover the jars tightly and place them in the refrigerator overnight, or for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and become tender.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, stir the oats well. If you prefer a creamier consistency, add a splash of milk.
- Finish with a drizzle of extra maple syrup and sprinkle with more pecans or pears just before serving.
Notes
- For an even richer flavor, consider mixing in some Greek yogurt with the coconut milk.
- You can also experiment by replacing pecans with hazelnuts or pistachios for a unique twist.
- For an extra layer of warmth, add a dash of ginger or allspice to the mix.
