Made with rolled oats, chia seeds, fresh fruit and Made by Cow Cold Pressed Raw Milk A2 Protein Milk, this simple recipe brings together wholesome ingredients for a satisfying start to your day.

And the best part? You can prepare it the night before, pop it in the fridge and wake up to breakfast already sorted. Now that’s the kind of morning productivity we can get behind!

Why You’ll Love Overnight Oats with A2 Protein Milk

Overnight oats are one of those wonderfully simple recipes that make eating well feel a little less like hard work.

Unlike traditional porridge, which requires cooking on the stovetop or in the microwave, overnight oats soften in milk while resting in the fridge. By morning, the oats have absorbed the liquid, the chia seeds have thickened the mixture, and everything comes together in a creamy, spoonable breakfast.

Adding A2 Protein Milk gives your oats a deliciously creamy flavour while contributing naturally occurring protein, calcium and other essential nutrients.

Made by Cow Cold Pressed Raw Milk A2 Protein Milk is sourced from specially bred A2 cows and offers a smooth, creamy taste that works beautifully in everyday recipes.

It’s a lovely way to bring cold pressed raw milk into your breakfast without making things complicated. Because nutritious food doesn’t need a lengthy ingredient list or a kitchen full of equipment.

Sometimes, all you need is a jar, a spoon and five minutes.

Overnight Oats Recipe with Chia Seeds

Ready to give your breakfast a little upgrade? Here’s how to make your new morning favourite.

Ingredients

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Refrigeration time: At least 4 hours, preferably overnight

You’ll need:

½ cup rolled oats
½ cup Made by Cow Cold Pressed Raw Milk A2 Protein Milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons natural Greek yoghurt (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ banana, sliced
A handful of fresh blueberries or strawberries
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)

Feel free to swap the fruit, adjust the sweetness or add your favourite toppings. This recipe is wonderfully flexible, so there’s plenty of room to make it your own.

Method

Step 1: Combine your ingredients

Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, Made by Cow A2 Protein Milk, vanilla extract and Greek yoghurt (if using) to a jar or small container.

Give everything a good stir. Make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed, as they can clump together if left sitting in one spot.

Step 2: Make it creamy

If you prefer sweeter oats, stir through a little honey or maple syrup. Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, comforting flavour.

The mixture may look a little runny at first. Don’t worry! The oats and chia seeds will absorb the milk as they rest.

Step 3: Refrigerate overnight

Cover your jar and place it in the fridge for at least four hours, or overnight for the best texture.

This is where the magic happens. The oats soften, the chia seeds absorb liquid and the mixture develops that lovely thick, creamy consistency.

Step 4: Add your toppings

In the morning, give your oats a stir. If the mixture is thicker than you like, add a small splash of milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.

Top with sliced banana, fresh berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Then grab a spoon and enjoy!

What Makes This Breakfast So Nutritious?

The beauty of overnight oats is that every ingredient brings something different to the bowl.

Rolled oats for fibre

Oats provide carbohydrates and dietary fibre, including beta-glucan, a type of soluble fibre. Fibre contributes to normal digestive function, while oats offer a versatile base for a balanced breakfast.

Their mild flavour also makes them the perfect partner for creamy milk, sweet fruit and crunchy toppings.

Chia seeds for extra goodness

Tiny but mighty, chia seeds are a simple way to add fibre, plant-based omega-3 fatty acid ALA and minerals to your breakfast.

When mixed with milk, chia seeds absorb liquid and form a gel-like texture. This helps give overnight oats their signature thickness while adding another layer of texture and nutrition.

A2 Protein Milk for creamy goodness

Milk naturally contains protein, calcium, potassium and vitamins, including B2 and B12. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle, while calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth.

Made by Cow Cold Pressed Raw Milk A2 Protein Milk brings these naturally occurring nutrients together with a creamy flavour that makes overnight oats extra enjoyable.

A2 protein refers to a particular type of beta-casein naturally present in milk from cows with an A2/A2 genetic profile. Some people find A2 milk more comfortable to digest than conventional milk, although individual experiences vary and the research is still developing.

Together, these ingredients create a breakfast that combines carbohydrates, fibre, protein and healthy fats in one convenient bowl.

Why Choose Made by Cow Cold Pressed Raw Milk?

Good recipes start with good ingredients, and milk is a big part of what makes overnight oats so delicious.

Made by Cow takes a different approach to milk, using cold pressure to make its raw milk safe to drink while helping preserve its natural nutritional profile.

Made by Cow retains the natural colour, flavour, nutrients, enzymes and texture of raw milk. Its cold pressed raw milk is independently tested, with research indicating that its natural enzymes remain largely unaffected by cold pressure.

Beneficial nutrients and enzymes are intact just as nature intended.

That means you can enjoy the naturally creamy flavour of Made by Cow in your everyday favourites, from overnight oats and smoothies to homemade yoghurt and pancakes.
