SUBSTITUTES

Here are all the ingredients and substitutes that you need to make these mason jar overnight oats.

• Plant-based milk: Usually I use almond milk for my overnight oats, but you can choose any plant-based milk you like such as coconut, soya, rice milk or even dairy milk. If you like it higher in protein, go for soya milk.
• Rolled oats – For overnight oats I recommend rolled oats as they don't become too soft overnight. But feel free to replace them with quick-cook or instant oats.
• Peanut butter – replace with the nut butter of your choice (almond butter, cashew butter, walnut butter) or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free recipe.
• Yoghurt: my favourite yoghurt is Greek, but Skyr or quark are always great options. Also, plant-based would work well.
• No calorie sweetener: you can use stevia, honey, agave or maple syrup or any other sweetener you like.
• Chia seeds: you can swap chia seeds with flaxseeds (same quantity).
• Melted berries: if you prefer instead of melting the frozen berries, use a low-calorie jam of your choice. Raspberry or strawberry jams go pretty well with peanut butter.

TOPPINGS

For toppings, usually use a combo of fresh fruits and nuts/nut butter. But there are so many variations you could try. Some of them are:

- Walnuts and raspberries

- Hazelnuts and trimmed dark chocolate

- Granola 

- Apple and cinnamon 

Variations are endless, experiment a bit each time you make them, so you will never get bored of them.
