Oats are a great source of fibre so they keep you feeling full + satisfied while fasting! If you’ve never tried overnight oats before, you just have to this Ramadan! My basic overnight oats recipe has only 4 steps, and you can then customise it with whatever flavours you want to make the most delicious oat recipes you will be EXCITED to wake up and eat at suhoor!

These are delicious sugar-free oatmeal cups that require NO COOKING! You pour the ingredients in a jar the night before, give it a good shake, and TA-DA! The next morning, the oats will absorb the liquid and become soft & fluffy, all by themselves! It’s like instant oatmeal only BETTER, homemade and free of added sugar!!

Ingredients

Directions

1. Combine the following DRY ingredients into a jar or tupperware: 

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 TBSP chia seeds

2. SHAKE, then add the liquid ingredients:

• 1/2 cup almond milk (or regular milk)
• Squeeze of liquid stevia or honey to taste

3. Add toppings of your choice (ideas listed below) into the jar and SHAKE again!

4. Refrigerate overnight! The oats will absorb the liquid and become soft & fluffy by morning!! 

You can experiment with toppings to customise for your whole family! Here are 7 of my favourite toppings to put in my oats that you can try, too!:

1. For date-apple oats, add 4 seedless small dates, chopped (or 1 large Medjool date, chopped) and 1/2 an apple, chopped. Stir and fridge for a deliciously sweet suhoor star!
2. For chocolate-banana oats, add 1/3 of a banana chopped & a small spoon of sugar-free natural cocoa powder to taste into your jar. Shake, and refrigerate overnight!
3. For banana-peanut butter oats, add 1/3 of a banana chopped to your jar. Shake, and refrigerate overnight! The next morning, top with 1 TBSP of natural peanut butter and enjoy!
4. For apple-pie oatmeal, add 1/2 small apple chopped, pinch or cinnamon & pinch of vanilla powder into the jar. Shake, and refrigerate overnight!
5. For apple-raisin oatmeal, add 1/2 small apple chopped, pinch or cinnamon & small handful of raisins into the jar. Shake, and refrigerate overnight! The raisins get soft and puffy and taste like candy the next day!
6. For berry blast oatmeal, add 2 TBSP frozen blueberries & pinch of vanilla powder into the jar. Shake, and refrigerate overnight!
7. For peanut-butter & “jelly” berry oatmeal, add 2 TBSP frozen blueberries & pinch of vanilla powder into the jar. Shake, and refrigerate overnight! The next morning, top with 1 TBSP of natural peanut butter and enjoy!
8. For vanilla raspberry oatmeal, add 2 TBSP frozen raspberries & pinch of vanilla powder into the jar. Shake, and refrigerate overnight!
9. For date-almond “snickers” oatmeal, add 3 dates, pits removed and chopped into the jar, as well as 5 almonds. Shake, and refrigerate overnight! Before eating, drizzle honey over the top of the oats. The dates get soft and puffy and taste like caramel the next day and the almonds add a delicious crunch!
