Ingredients
Scale
Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to form a well-mixed base for your overnight oats.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the oats are evenly coated with the liquid and flavorings.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, ideally 8 hours, to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats again and either enjoy directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Add your favorite toppings like nuts, fruits, or seeds if desired.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to taste.
- Milk can be substituted with any dairy-free milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Add fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds on top just before serving for extra flavor and nutrition.
