Classic Vanilla Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe brings together plain or Greek yogurt with rolled oats and almond milk, providing a base rich in protein and fiber. Chia seeds absorb liquid to add body and a slight gel-like consistency. Vanilla extract adds subtle flavor, while a pinch of salt balances sweetness. Sweetener like honey or maple syrup adjusts the taste as desired.
After mixing all ingredients, the oats are refrigerated for at least four hours, ideally overnight, so the oats expand and become tender. The result is a smooth, ready-to-eat breakfast or snack that can be eaten cold or at room temperature without cooking. The simple method requires only a bowl or jar and minimal preparation.
The notes clarify that almond milk here is unsweetened Almond Breeze Original, but substitutions with other plant-based or dairy milks are possible and will still work well.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- ½ cup rolled oats heaping
- ⅔ cup almond milk see notes, unsweetened Almond Breeze Original
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxmeal
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 0-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Spoon into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Close and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before eating.
Notes
- Use any milk you prefer, such as soy, oat, dairy, or coconut; the recipe works with all types.
- Ensure at least 4 hours of refrigeration to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid fully.
