Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brewed Thai tea, cooled
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (optional)
- Chopped nuts or fruit for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the Thai Tea Overnight Oats: rolled oats, brewed Thai tea, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut milk (if using), and any toppings such as chopped nuts or fruit.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats with 1 cup of cooled brewed Thai tea. Make sure the tea has cooled to room temperature to prevent the oats from becoming mushy.
- Add 1/2 cup of almond milk to the oat and tea mixture. This will help create a creamy texture while keeping the dish vegan.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to sweeten the mixture. Adjust the amount based on your preference for sweetness.
- If you desire a richer flavor and creaminess, add 1/4 cup of coconut milk to the mixture. This step is optional but highly recommended.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Ensure that the oats are evenly coated with the liquid ingredients.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to achieve the best texture.
- In the morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. The oats should be soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Serve the Thai Tea Overnight Oats in bowls or jars. Top with your choice of chopped nuts or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Thai Tea Overnight Oats as a quick breakfast or snack!
Tips
- Tea Temperature Matters: Ensure your Thai tea is completely cooled before mixing to prevent soggy oats and maintain the perfect texture.
- Milk Options: While the recipe calls for almond milk, feel free to experiment with other plant-based milks like oat or coconut milk for different flavor profiles.
- Sweetness Control: Adjust the maple syrup to your taste. Start with less and add more if needed – you can always add, but can't take away!
- Topping Creativity: Don't be afraid to get creative with toppings. Try a mix of chopped mango, toasted coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra nutrition.
- Prep Ahead: These overnight oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance, making them perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.
- Consistency Check: If the oats seem too thick in the morning, simply stir in a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Chill Factor: For the best texture, always refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for maximum flavor infusion.
