Ingredients

Oats

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Liquid

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Banana slices
  • Chopped nuts
  • More brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, milk, plain Greek yogurt, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak overnight or for at least 6 hours so that the oats absorb the liquid and the flavors meld together, resulting in a creamy texture.
  3. Stir and Serve: The next morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency to your preference. Top with optional toppings such as banana slices, chopped nuts, or an extra sprinkle of brown sugar. Enjoy your overnight oats chilled, or warm them briefly if desired.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk you prefer, including dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar based on your taste.
  • For a vegan option, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use a non-dairy milk.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
  • Add fresh fruit, seeds, or nut butters as toppings for added nutrition and flavor variety.
