Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons ube halaya (purple yam jam)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or a mason jar, add rolled oats, milk, ube halaya, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the ube halaya is evenly distributed.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Serve Chilled: After refrigeration, give the oat mixture a good stir and serve chilled directly from the container. You can add toppings like fresh fruit or nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, coconut, or regular cow’s milk, depending on your dietary needs.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
  • For added texture, sprinkle some nuts or toasted coconut flakes before serving.
  • Make sure to stir well before refrigerating to prevent the ube halaya from clumping.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled for meal prep across multiple days.
