Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (of choice)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon cinnamon (depending on preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl or large bowl if preparing multiple servings, add rolled oats, milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients together until well combined. If using a mason jar, add all ingredients directly to the jar, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously to mix.
- Refrigerate: Place the mixture in an airtight container or keep the lid on the mason jar, and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Before eating, stir the oats to redistribute any settled ingredients and enjoy cold or at room temperature.
Notes
- Adjust cinnamon quantity based on your taste preference for a milder or stronger cinnamon flavor.
- Use any type of milk such as almond, soy, or dairy to suit dietary needs.
- For extra texture and flavor, consider adding toppings like nuts, raisins, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; you can substitute with regular yogurt if preferred.
