Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium jar or bowl, mix rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and your choice of milk. Stir together to ensure even consistency.
- Sweeten and Add Seeds: Add honey or maple syrup to the mixture along with chia seeds if using, then stir thoroughly to blend the flavors and help thicken the oats overnight.
- Add Fruit: Layer fresh or frozen berries on top or gently fold them into the mixture, depending on your preference for bursts of fruit throughout.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours or overnight to soften and absorb all the flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a good stir, add any additional toppings such as nuts or granola, and dig into your creamy, wholesome breakfast.
Notes
- Use thick yogurt like Greek or strained yogurt for a rich, creamy texture.
- Don’t skip soaking time; overnight soaking allows oats to soften fully.
- Adjust milk quantity to reach your preferred consistency, whether thicker or more spoonable.
- Add crunchy toppings like nuts or granola right before serving to maintain texture.
- Prepare multiple servings ahead for easy grab-and-go breakfasts all week.
