Ingredients

2 servings
  • 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen berries (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (optional topping)

How to Make It

  1. 1

    Combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon in a jar or container with a lid. Stir well.

  2. 2

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight (up to 5 days).

  3. 3

    In the morning, stir and check the consistency — add a splash of milk if it's thicker than you like.

  4. 4

    Top with berries, nut butter, granola, or whatever sounds good. Eat cold straight from the jar.
