Overnight Oats
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toppings of your choice: sliced fruits (like banana, berries, or apple), nuts (like almonds, walnuts, or pecans), seeds (like pumpkin or sunflower seeds), shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Instructions:
- In a mason jar or airtight container, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Cover the jar/container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
- Add your favorite toppings on the oats. Feel free to get creative and mix and match different fruits, nuts, and seeds.
- Grab a spoon and enjoy your nutritious and delicious breakfast on the go!
