- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk use dairy or plant-based
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt optional, for extra creaminess
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup adds gentle sweetness
- 2 kiwis peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoons honey or syrup for drizzling on top
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds optional, for added texture and nutrients
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Prepare the Overnight Oats Base: In a mixing bowl, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds (if using) and honey or syrup, stirring well to blend the ingredients until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to a jar with a lid, then refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours) to let the oats absorb the liquid and become soft and creamy.
Layer with Kiwi: Remove the oats from the fridge in the morning. If they’re too thick, stir in a bit more milk to adjust the consistency. Spoon half of the oats into a serving jar or glass, smoothing the surface for even layers.
Add a Kiwi Layer: Spread a layer of diced kiwi on top of the oats in the jar, adding a fresh and juicy contrast to the creamy oats.
Second Layer of Oats and Top with Kiwi: Spoon the remaining oats over the kiwi layer, smoothing them out evenly. Top with the remaining diced kiwi, creating a colorful and refreshing garnish.
Finish with a Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup over the kiwi for an extra touch of sweetness. Add a sprig or two of fresh mint leaves on top for a burst of color and a refreshing aroma.
Serving: Serve your Kiwi Overnight Oats chilled directly from the fridge for a quick, deliciously layered breakfast!
- Adjust sweetness: You can add more honey or syrup to taste if desired.
