Chai Tea Latte Overnight Oats Tips:

Chai tea latte overnight oats have a balanced flavor profile that is smooth and creamy. Here are tips to keep your soaked oats fresh and delicious each spoonful you take.

  • Although oats are gluten free, select certified rolled oats to make your oatmeal gluten-free. 
  • Quick oats will get really soggy and turn into mush when soaked. Steel cut oats won’t soften enough and result in a very chewy texture. 
  • Make it vegan by using a dairy-free alternative such as soy milk, oat milk or almond milk. Instead of honey, substitute for maple syrup, coconut nectar, agave or your personal favorite. 
  • Overnight oats are typically served chilled. However, if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them on the stovetop or in the microwave for a minute. Use a microwave-safe container and stir frequently while warming it up. 
  • Meal prep overnight oats ahead of time, they typically stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
  • If the oats are too thick, then thin out the mixture with a splash of liquid when serving.

Tea Time: 10 minutes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Combine the aromatic spices of a chai tea latte with the delicate creaminess of overnight oats. This healthy meal is packed with the health benefits of oats and natural spices blended together.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 chai tea bag
  • 2 tablespoons half and half
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg

Instructions

  1. In a small sauce pan or a mug in the microwave, bring the water to a boil. Steep the chai tea bag in the water for 7-10 minutes. (Afterwards, remove the tea bag and squeeze out as much liquid as possible and allow the hot tea to cool to room temperature before combining with the oats).
  2. In a medium sized bowl or overnight oats container, combine the room temperature prepared chai tea, rolled oats, half and half, honey and vanilla extract; mix well so the mixture is fully combined.
  3. Cover with a lid and place in the refrigerator for about 12 hours to allow the oats to fully soak up the liquid.
  4. To serve, give the no cook oatmeal a quick stir. This will help to combine the soft layer at the bottom with the chewy texture on the top. Add oatmeal toppings like yogurt, fresh berries, toasted nuts and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg to finish.

Notes

  • Make it vegan: Use a dairy-free milk substitute and exchange the honey for a natural sweetener like maple syrup, coconut nectar or agave.
  • Make a porridge style consistency by adding a splash of liquid just before serving. 2:1 liquid to oats water ratio is a general guideline to follow.
  • Storage: The no cook oatmeal will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
