No reviews

A foolproof, customizable overnight oats recipe that takes 5 minutes to prep and provides a healthy, grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings.

  • Total Time: PT6H5M
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, or oat)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt in a mason jar or a small airtight container.
Step 2: Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon until all ingredients are well combined and no dry oats remain at the bottom.
Step 3: Seal the lid tightly and place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight.
Step 4: In the morning, remove the lid and give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of extra milk. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds and enjoy cold.

Notes

For best results, use rolled oats rather than quick oats to maintain a better texture. You can store these in the fridge for up to 5 days.
