Ingredients:
- ½ cup (40g) rolled oats (Old-fashioned, not instant)
- ½ cup (120ml) milk (Dairy, almond, soy, oat)
- ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (Plain, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) sweetener (Maple syrup, honey, agave)
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh or frozen fruit (berries, bananas, peaches, etc.)
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
- Nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew)
- Chocolate chips (dark, milk, white)
- Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger)
- Extracts (vanilla, almond)
- Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries)
- Jam or preserves
Instructions:
- In your jar or container, add the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, and salt.
- Stir everything together until well combined. Make sure there are no clumps of oats or chia seeds lurking at the bottom.
- If using any mix-ins like fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips, stir them in now.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
- In the morning, give your overnight oats a good stir. If they're too thick, add a splash more milk. Top with your favorite toppings (fresh fruit, granola, a drizzle of honey) and dig in!
