Prep Time 10 minutes

Course Breakfast
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds optional, for extra thickness
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt brings out sweetness

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl or two 16-oz mason jars, whisk oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until combined. Stir well—no dry pockets of oats.
  • If you haven’t already, divide the mixture evenly between jars. Seal with lids or cover with plastic wrap.
  • Pop jars into the fridge for at least 6 hours (or up to 24). This downtime lets oats absorb liquid and flavors meld.
  • In the morning, give each jar a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings—berries for antioxidants, banana for sweetness, nuts for crunch.
  • Eat straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl if you’re feeling fancy. Enjoy a stress-free Breakfast Recipe.
  • Rinse jars and spoons in warm water—no scrubbing baked-on mess here!

Notes

Texture tweak: If oats feel too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk and let sit 5 minutes before serving. Flavor depth: A tiny pinch of kosher salt makes sweetness pop—trust me! Jar choice: Wide-mouth mason jars are perfect for scooping. Seasonal swap: When peaches are on sale, dice and fold in for natural sweetness.
