Combining the rich textures and tastes of figs, walnuts, and honey with the wholesome goodness of multi-grain oatmeal and chia seeds, this recipe offers a balanced meal that’s both satisfying and healthy.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a lid, mix together 1/2 cup of multi-grain oatmeal, 1/2 cup of 2% milk, and 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Stir the ingredients well to ensure the oatmeal and chia seeds are evenly distributed within the milk. This will help the chia seeds swell and contribute to a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Wash the fig thoroughly under running water. Pat it dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Slice the fig into small pieces or wedges, removing the stem as you go. You can also opt to finely dice the fig if you prefer smaller pieces.
- Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of honey over the oatmeal mixture to add sweetness.
- Roughly chop 1/8 cup of walnuts and sprinkle them into the mixture for added crunch.
- Gently fold in the sliced or diced fig pieces into the oatmeal mixture to evenly distribute the fruity flavor.
- Cover the bowl with cling wrap or seal the jar with its lid. Place it in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight, or at least for 6-8 hours. This allows the oats to soften and the chia seeds to swell, creating a creamy and cohesive texture.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If it seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Optionally, garnish with extra fig slices, a drizzle of honey, or a few more chopped walnuts for added texture and visual appeal.
- Your delicious and hearty overnight oats with figs and honey are now ready to enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh figs for better sweetness and texture. If fresh figs aren't available, dried figs can be used but remember to adjust the sweetness since dried figs are more concentrated in sugar.
- For a vegan option, substitute the milk with a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
- Prep multiple servings ahead of time to save time throughout the week. Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Mix the oats, milk, and chia seeds well to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping. Stir in the figs, honey, and walnuts just before serving to maintain the best texture.
- Feel free to add additional toppings like fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of nut butter to customize your oats to your preference.
Enjoy your overnight oats with figs and honey as a sumptuous start to your day. The blend of flavors and textures not only satisfies your taste buds but also provides essential nutrients to fuel your morning. Whether you're rushing out the door or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, this dish is a fantastic choice.
