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
