Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds), sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Measure the dry ingredients: combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds in a jar or bowl.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: stir in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup milk of your choice.
  3. Sweeten and flavor: mix in 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until smooth and evenly distributed, ensuring chia seeds don’t clump.
  5. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats and add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, or nuts.
  7. Enjoy cold or warm by microwaving for 30 seconds if preferred.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats to prevent mushiness. Adjust sweetness to taste or omit sweetener for savory version. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Optional to warm for 30 seconds before serving.
