Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh or dried fruit (optional)
- 2 tablespoons nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, and Greek yogurt. Stir well until the oats are fully moistened.
Add the chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the oat mixture. Stir again to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
In the morning, stir the oats to evenly distribute the moisture. If the oats seem too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the soaked oats in bowls and top with your choice of fresh or dried fruit, nuts, or seeds for added flavor and texture.
Enjoy your nutritious and satisfying breakfast right away or pack into a jar for a convenient, on-the-go meal.
