Sam's Kitchen Favorites

• For this recipe, I used these 18 ounce overnight oat jars with lids.

• I love these silicone mixing spoons. No more scraping the bowl, and the food doesn't stick to them!

• My go-to angled liquid measuring cup . After multiple runs through the dishwasher, the numbers have not worn off.

• For permanently engraved measurements, these measuring cups are fantastic!

• For a more professional yet affordable mixing bowl, these stackable bowls with measurements marks work perfectly.

• Food Processor. I recommend this for quickly turning graham crackers into fine crumbs, chopping nuts, blending ingredients, making sauces, and so much more.

• Acacia Wood Cutting Board. I use this board in many of my recipe photos to display my overnight oats. I love the warm wood finish because it creates a simple, natural background that helps the jars and layers of oats stand out. It’s also reversible and can be used as a cutting board, charcuterie board, or serving board, making it a versatile piece to have in your kitchen.

Helpful Tips

• Customize the Orange Color. Add orange food coloring a few drops at a time until you reach your desired shade. The color may look slightly different once mixed with the oats.

• Blend the Yogurt Until Smooth. Use a food processor to blend the blackberries, blueberries, and Greek yogurt into a creamy purple topping. Blend thoroughly for an even color.

• Use Ripe Bananas. A ripe banana will mash easily into the chocolate oats and add natural sweetness to balance the rich cocoa flavor.

• Adjust the Chocolate Color. Black cocoa powder helps create the dark bottom layer. Add a little more if needed to achieve a deeper color.

• Dairy-free option: Use Silk yogurt , or make a homemade jam instead of a yogurt layer.

• What type of oats are best? I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
