Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Fresh fruit (such as berries, banana slices, or diced apple)
- 1 tablespoons Nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a clean mason jar or similar 12-ounce container with a lid, add the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
In the morning, give the mixture a quick stir and check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a splash of milk and stir again.
Top the oatmeal with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds of your choice just before serving.
Enjoy your deliciously creamy and healthy Overnight Oatmeal straight from the jar or transfer it to a bowl, if preferred.
