Make-Ahead Breakfast Bowls

Quick and healthy breakfast bowls that can be made ahead of time for busy mornings, filled with protein, fiber, and fruit.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk (almond, soy, coconut, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (coconut or almond yogurt for vegan option)
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruits (berries, banana slices, mango, pineapple, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, hemp seeds)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, drizzle of nut butter

Instructions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of your chosen milk in a bowl or mason jar. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soften.
  2. In the morning, fold in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt or your preferred creamy ingredient.
  3. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup to your desired sweetness, and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of spices for added flavor.
  4. Load your bowl with 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen fruits and scatter 2 tablespoons of nuts or seeds on top.
  5. Eat immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Use a jar with a tight lid to keep bowls fresh. Adjust milk for thickness preference and swap yogurt types for dairy-free options.
