Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2-3 teaspoons honey more to taste
- Toppings: fresh berries, granola, sliced almonds, drizzle of almond butter
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a 12 to 16-ounce jar and stir until fully combined. Add additional sweetener if needed.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Top with your favorite toppings like berries, granola, nuts, jam, sliced banana or a drizzle of nut butter.
Notes
- Vanilla paste can be used as a substitute for vanilla extract. It has a slightly richer vanilla flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness. Add more or less honey to taste.
- Adjust to taste. If the oats become thicker than you like after chilling, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
- Refrigerate overnight for the best texture. These oats are even better after sitting overnight.
- Add toppings just before serving. This helps them stay fresh and crunchy.
- Nutritional information doesn't include additional toppings. This will vary depending on the toppings used.
