Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 -2 tablespoons chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (or mashed ripe banana)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries (nuts, shredded coconut, nut butter, dark chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla in a jar or container. Add a pinch of salt.

Equipment

Notes

  • Oats: Rolled oats work best. Quick oats will be mushier; steel-cut oats require longer soaking.
  • Sweetener: Use mashed banana or applesauce for a no-sugar-added version.
  • Texture too thick? Add a splash of milk before serving.
