Ingredients

For the Oats
  • ½ cup rolled oats old-fashioned
  • ½ cup milk any kind except coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt plain, Greek
  • 1½ teaspoons chia seed optional
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • cinnamon pinch
  • salt pinch
Optional Toppings
  • Fruit fresh or dried
  • seeds
  • nuts
  • granola
  • coconut shredded or toasted
  • nut butter
  • apple butter or pumpkin butter
  • honey or maple syrup
  • cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix: In a small jar or airtight container, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
  2. Refrigerate: Seal the jar/container and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
  3. Serve: In the morning, stir the mixture. If it seems too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with your favorite optional toppings and enjoy. Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats, avoiding quick oats for better texture.
  • Store the overnight oats in a sealed container to keep freshness for up to 3 days.
  • Add any preferred toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butter just before serving to maintain texture.
  • Experiment with flavor variations such as pumpkin spice or peanut butter for different tastes.
