Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative such as oat, soy, or coconut milk)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh or dried fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, raisins)
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
Add the milk of your choice and yogurt to the oat mixture, stirring well to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
Stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
Fold in the fresh or dried fruit, gently mixing to combine.
Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers.
Seal the containers with lids and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir to ensure everything is well mixed. If you find it too thick, you can add more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Enjoy cold straight from the jar or heat it up briefly in the microwave if you prefer a warm breakfast.
