Overnight Oats Recipe
Wake up to a creamy, no-bake Overnight Oats Recipe that’s perfect for busy mornings and tastes like a treat.
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.
