Gordon Ramsay’s Overnight Oats Recipe Ingredients
- 80ml milk (dairy or non)
- 60g Greek yogurt
- 30g rolled oats
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (or way more)
- 40g fresh blueberries
How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Overnight Oats Recipe
- Combine the Base: In a jar with a secure lid, add the milk, Greek yogurt, rolled oats, honey, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
- Shake to Mix: Screw the lid on tightly and shake the jar vigorously for 20–30 seconds until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture looks uniform.
- Fold in Berries: Remove the lid and add the fresh blueberries. Use a spoon to gently fold them in. For a pop of color, you can lightly smash a few berries against the side of the jar.
- Chill Overnight: Secure the lid and place the jar in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or for at least 6-12 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
Recipe Tips
- What’s the best way to serve overnight oats? Using a clear jar makes the breakfast more appealing, especially in the morning. You can see the layers and textures before you even take a bite.
- Can I make these for the whole week? Absolutely. This recipe is perfect for meal prep. You can make a double or triple batch in individual jars, and they will stay fresh and delicious in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- When should I add crunchy toppings? Always add crunchy toppings like nuts, seeds, or granola right before serving in the morning. If you add them the night before, they will become soft and mushy.
- Is there a secret to enhancing the flavor? A tiny pinch of salt added to the base mixture works wonders. It won’t make the oats salty but will amplify the sweetness of the honey and the warmth of the cinnamon, making all the flavors pop.
Topping Ideas for Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are a perfect canvas for a variety of toppings added just before serving.
- A sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- A drizzle of maple syrup or extra honey
- A dollop of peanut butter or almond butter
- Sliced banana or other fresh fruit
How To Store Overnight Oats
Refrigerate: These are designed to be made and stored in the refrigerator. Keep them in an airtight jar for up to 4 days. The texture will continue to soften slightly each day. Freeze: Freezing is not recommended as it can negatively affect the texture of the oats and the yogurt upon thawing.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of oats?
Rolled oats are best as they soften to a creamy consistency without becoming mushy. Steel-cut oats will remain too chewy, while instant oats will likely dissolve and become very soft.
Why are my overnight oats too thick or too thin?
The consistency depends on the ratio of liquid to oats and chia seeds. If it’s too thick, simply stir in a splash more milk before serving. If it’s too thin, you can add another teaspoon of chia seeds next time or let it sit for an extra hour.
Can I warm up my overnight oats?
Yes, while they are designed to be eaten cold, you can warm them up. Transfer the oats to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45-60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until warmed to your liking.
