Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (optional but recommended):
- Fresh or frozen berries
- Sliced bananas
- Chopped nuts or seeds
- Nut butter (peanut, almond, etc.)
- Coconut flakes
- Granola
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds or flaxseeds, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix everything together.
- Refrigerate:
- Seal the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. The oats will absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast.
- Add Toppings:
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy your overnight oats cold or warm them up in the microwave if preferred.
