Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (any preferred type)
  • 1/2 cup yogurt (optional; swap for dairy-free yogurt if vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Flavorings and Sweeteners

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or mason jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt if using, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are blended evenly and you have no dry clumps of oats or chia seeds.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  4. Check and Stir: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine the flavors and check consistency; add additional milk if the mixture is too thick for your liking.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Top your overnight oats with fresh fruits, nuts, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon before serving for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or another natural sweetener according to preference.
  • For a vegan option, use dairy-free milk and yogurt alternatives.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutritional fiber and omega-3s.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon to suit your taste; more cinnamon intensifies the warm flavor.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance for meal prep convenience.
