Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ tablespoon graham cracker crumbs
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup milk (any variety works)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons dehydrated mini marshmallows
Toppings
- Mini marshmallows (regular or dehydrated, as preferred)
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Chocolate-covered graham crackers
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, stir together the old-fashioned oats, chia seeds, graham cracker crumbs, and a pinch of kosher salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring gently to incorporate everything into a smooth mixture without clumps.
- Incorporate Marshmallows: Stir in the dehydrated mini marshmallows, which add sweetness and texture to the oats. If using regular soft mini marshmallows instead, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to enhance sweetness.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy consistency.
- Serve with Toppings: Before serving, sprinkle extra mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate-covered grahams on top for added crunch and the classic s'mores flavors.
Notes
- Using dehydrated mini marshmallows adds sweetness without extra moisture; if using regular marshmallows, add a sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
- Any milk variety (dairy or plant-based) works well in this recipe.
- Refrigeration time can range from 6 to 8 hours to achieve the best texture.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and ensure the marshmallows are vegan-friendly or omit them.
- The chocolate-covered graham crackers add a delightful finishing touch but can be substituted with chocolate chips.
