Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Mix-ins and Toppings

  • Almond or peanut butter (for nut butter swirl)
  • Fresh apples, raisins, or chopped dates
  • Protein powder (optional for protein boost)
  • Nutmeg or ginger (for additional spices)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Cinnamon powder
  • Extra fruits like plump raisins or diced apples

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a bowl or mason jar to create the flavorful oat base that will soak overnight.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the oats are fully saturated.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquids and soften into a creamy texture.
  4. Stir and Customize Before Serving: In the morning, stir the oats well. Add any desired toppings such as chopped nuts, fresh fruit, a swirl of nut butter, or extra cinnamon for added flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats, not quick oats, to maintain the perfect creamy chewiness.
  • Measure liquids carefully to achieve a thick but spoonable consistency.
  • Don’t skip chia seeds; they add nutrition and naturally thicken the oats.
  • Adjust sweetness after soaking by adding more maple syrup if needed.
  • Double the recipe to prepare multiple servings ahead of time.
