Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Toppings: Fresh berries, nuts, or nut butter
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt in a glass jar or airtight container.
Step 2: Add the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt (if using) to the jar.
Step 3: Stir all the ingredients together until thoroughly combined, ensuring no chia seeds are stuck to the bottom.
Step 4: Secure the lid on the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
Step 5: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If they are too thick, add a splash more milk. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Always use rolled oats rather than instant oats for the best texture. These oats will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
