Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. This mixture forms the base of your overnight oats.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir all ingredients until they are fully combined and the brown sugar is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats to soak and soften, absorbing the flavors.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats to combine any settled ingredients. Enjoy directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk such as almond, soy, or cow’s milk depending on your preference.
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar as preferred.
- Optional toppings include fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- This recipe works well as a grab-and-go breakfast, ideal for busy mornings.
