Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Sliced bananas
- Chopped nuts
- Chia seeds
- Drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate the mixture overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften while the flavors meld together.
- Stir Before Serving: In the morning, stir the oats well. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more milk and mix to your desired texture.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top with sliced bananas, chopped nuts, chia seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup according to your preference. You can enjoy it cold straight from the fridge or warm it up briefly in the microwave.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar with maple syrup or honey for different sweetness options.
- Prepare multiple jars ahead of time for convenient meal prep throughout the week.
