Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.)
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for topping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:

• In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
• Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

2. Refrigerate Overnight:

• Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

3. Serve and Enjoy:

• The next morning, give the oats a stir.
• Top with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for added flavor and texture.
• Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer it slightly less chilled.

Tips

• Customize Your Oats: Experiment with different toppings such as berries, sliced bananas, shredded coconut, almonds, or peanut butter.
• Make It Vegan: Use plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives.
• Meal Prep: Prepare several jars of overnight oats at once to have breakfast ready for the entire week.
