If you love overnight oats, these Lemon Poppy Seed Overnight Oats may just be your new favorite! Only 5 minutes to prep and ready when you wake up! A refreshing burst of lemon and the crunch of poppy seeds will get you ready for your day!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 c rolled oats (regular or gluten free)
- 1/4 c lemon yogurt
- 1/3 c milk of choice (reg or dairy free, plus a bit more in the morning if seems thick)
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey
- Dash of sea salt
Instructions
- In a bowl or container that can be sealed shut, combine all ingredients and stir well.
- Close and chill overnight or at least 4 hours.
- Add a Tablespoon or two more milk if too thick in the morning and eat chilled or warmed up.
Notes
- Eat these oats hot or cold! You can eat your lemon overnight oats chilled or warmed up. I typically prefer mine heated, but this version I enjoy cold from the fridge.
- These lemon poppy seed oats can be stored up to 5 days. Chilled and covered, these oats will keep for about 5 days. You may need to add an extra splash of milk in the morning before serving if they become too thick, or too much of the milk has been absorbed.
- Add more lemon flavor if you want! You can add a splash of lemon juice. I went with just the zest and lemon yogurt, but if you love lemon, the more the merrier!
