Overnight Oats with Water
Description
This recipe mixes rolled oats and chia seeds with water, vanilla yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. After stirring thoroughly, the ingredients rest in the refrigerator overnight or for at least three hours. During this time, the oats soften while chia seeds absorb liquid, thickening the mixture into a creamy, spoonable texture without needing cooking.
The use of water rather than milk makes the dish lighter in consistency and calories, while yogurt contributes creaminess and flavor. Vanilla syrup and extract add sweetness and aroma. The final oats can be served plain or garnished with nuts, jam, or fresh berries for added flavor and texture.
This method is convenient for quick breakfasts or snacks, requiring no active cooking and allowing flexibility in portioning and flavor additions as desired.

Instructions
