This Ube Overnight Oats recipe is a vibrant and nutritious breakfast option that combines creamy oats with the naturally sweet and colorful ube halaya. Perfect for busy mornings, this no-cook dish is easy to prepare by simply mixing oats, milk, ube halaya, and a sweetener of your choice, then refrigerating overnight to achieve a creamy, flavorful texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Oats

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

Liquid

  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind: dairy or plant-based)

Flavoring

  • 2 tablespoons ube halaya (purple yam jam)

Sweetener

  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or sugar, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, ube halaya, and your preferred sweetener. Stir well until the ube halaya is thoroughly mixed with the oats and milk, creating a consistent purple mixture.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight. This soaking process allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors, softening and thickening into a creamy consistency.
  3. Serve: After refrigeration, stir the oats to combine any separated ingredients. Serve chilled, and optionally top with fresh fruits, nuts, or additional ube halaya for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats rather than instant oats for the best texture; steel-cut oats are not recommended as they do not soften sufficiently overnight.
  • You can substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk to suit dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the sweetness to taste or omit if your ube halaya is already sweetened.
  • Store leftover overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add mix-ins such as chia seeds or shredded coconut for added nutrition and texture.
