  • Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ¼ cup yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Toppings (Optional)

  • Berries
  • Nuts
  • Nut butter

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, yogurt if using, sweetener of choice (honey or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill and absorb the liquids overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken.
  3. Add Toppings and Serve: Before eating, add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, or a dollop of nut butter. You can enjoy the oats cold directly from the refrigerator or warm them slightly if preferred.

Notes

  • Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
  • Store the prepared overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
