Description
Try this easy overnight oats recipe with figs and walnuts—vegan, gluten-free, and made with just 7 ingredients in minutes. Healthy, hearty & delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cup plain plant-based milk, plain, unsweetened (i.e. soy, coconut, almond)
- 2 teaspoon blackstrap molasses (optional, learn more about molasses here)
- ½ teaspoon Chinese 5 spice seasoning blend
- 4 figs, sliced (may substitute dried figs if out of season)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add oats, plant-based milk, molasses (optional), five spice blend, and chia seeds, and stir well.
- Divide the oat mixture equally among two pint-size mason jars or 2-cup containers. (Alternatively, store entire batch in a 1 quart container.)
- Top each oatmeal portion with 2 sliced figs and 1/4 cup walnuts. (If using a single 1 quart-container, top it with 4 sliced figs and 1/2 cup walnuts.) Cover with lid and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, enjoy overnight oats warm (microwave for about 2 minutes) or cold. If you are preparing for longer than 24 hours in advance, your best option is to add the walnuts and figs right before serving.
- Makes 2 servings (about 2 cups each).
