Ingredients
Oats and Dairy
- ½ cup oats
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
Flavorings and Add-ins
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup (or agave, or honey)
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place oats, milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and chia seeds into a jar or sealable container. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container and store it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquids and soften.
- Serve: Eat the overnight oats directly from the jar for convenience, or optionally warm in the microwave for 45 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast. Best consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness but can be kept refrigerated up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can make the mixture mushy.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt or a dairy-free alternative for different textures and dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount or type of sweetener like honey or agave syrup.
- Adding fresh fruits or nuts as toppings can enhance flavor and texture.
