Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are a simple, customizable, and nutritious make-ahead breakfast option. Made with a basic ratio of oats and milk, you can enhance the texture and flavor with Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and your favorite sweetener or toppings.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plain old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds (optional)
• 1/4 cup Greek or vegan yogurt (optional)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Directions

1. Add the Greek yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract to a mason jar or glass container (if using add-ins).
2. Add the rolled oats and pour the milk over the ingredients.
3. Stir thoroughly until there are no dry spots, the oats are fully coated, and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
4. Seal the jar with a lid or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight gives the best texture.
5. Give the oats a gentle stir before serving, add your favorite fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butters as toppings, and enjoy cold!
