Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to create the oat base.
- Mix: Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully blended, ensuring even sweetness and creaminess.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can enjoy it directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds if desired.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture, as quick oats may become too mushy.
- Milk can be substituted with any plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- For a thicker consistency, increase the Greek yogurt amount or reduce the milk slightly.
- Add toppings like berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
