Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Sliced bananas
- Chopped nuts
- Extra brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, milk, plain Greek yogurt, brown sugar, chia seeds (if using), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. This resting time allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Stir and Add Toppings: In the morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a good stir to combine any separated ingredients. Add your choice of toppings such as sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or an extra sprinkle of brown sugar to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- For richer flavor and creaminess, substitute a splash of the milk with cream.
- If you prefer warm oats, heat the prepared oats in the microwave for about 1 minute before serving.
