Gordon Ramsay’s Overnight Oats Ingredients

  • 80ml milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 60g Greek yogurt
  • 30g rolled oats
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (or more, to taste)
  • 40g fresh blueberries
  • Tiny pinch of salt

How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Overnight Oats

  1. Combine the Base: In a jar with a lid, add the milk, Greek yogurt, rolled oats, honey, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of salt.
  2. Shake Well: Screw the lid on tightly and shake the jar vigorously for 20–30 seconds, until all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Add the Fruit: Add the fresh blueberries to the jar. You can gently fold them in to keep them whole or smash a few against the side of the jar to release their juices.
  4. Chill Overnight: Place the lid back on the jar and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6-12 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken.

Recipe Tips

  • Why use a clear jar? Using a clear glass jar isn’t just for looks; it helps you see if all the ingredients are properly mixed when you shake it. Plus, it makes breakfast a bit more appealing.
  • How do I meal prep this? This recipe is perfect for meal prepping. You can easily double or triple the ingredients to make several jars at once. They will stay fresh and delicious in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • When should I add crunchy toppings? Always add crunchy toppings like nuts, seeds, or granola right before serving in the morning. If you add them the night before, they will absorb moisture and become soft and mushy.
  • Why add a pinch of salt? A tiny pinch of salt won’t make the oats salty. Instead, it acts as a flavor enhancer, brightening the sweetness of the honey and the tang of the yogurt.

What To Serve With Overnight Oats

This is a complete breakfast in a jar, but you can customize it with toppings in the morning.

  • Crunch: A sprinkle of granola, chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
  • Fruit: Sliced banana, raspberries, or chopped strawberries.
  • Seeds: A spoonful of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or hemp hearts.
  • Sweetness: An extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

How To Store Overnight Oats

  • Refrigerate: Store the prepared jars of overnight oats in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 4 days.

FAQs

Do I have to use rolled oats?

Yes, rolled oats (also called old-fashioned oats) are best for overnight oats as they soften into a creamy texture without becoming mushy. Instant or quick-cooking oats will become too soft, and steel-cut oats will remain too chewy.

Can I use a different type of fruit?

Absolutely. This recipe is great with any kind of berry, chopped peaches, mango, or grated apple.

Can I warm up my overnight oats?

While they are designed to be eaten cold, you can certainly warm them up. Simply transfer the oats to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 60-90 seconds, or until warmed through.
