  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (of choice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup)

Flavor Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam (or raspberry jam or similar)
  • 1 tablespoon strawberries (chopped) or raspberries
  • 1/4 cup apple (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon pecans (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons apple sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon Nutella
  • 1/2 banana (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or a similar container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup, and all desired flavor add-ins such as peanut butter, jams, fruits, nuts, cocoa powder, and spices. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture soak and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids, softening to a creamy consistency.
  3. Stir and Serve: In the morning, remove the jar from the fridge and give the oats a good stir. If you prefer, add any additional toppings or variations now, such as fresh fruit, extra nut butter, or chocolate chips. Enjoy your nutritious and ready-to-eat breakfast straight from the jar or transferred to a bowl.

Notes

  • Use any plant-based or dairy milk according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • Adjust sweetness by changing the quantity of honey, maple syrup, or jam used.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator safely for up to 2-3 days.
  • Add fresh fruits or nuts just before serving to maintain texture and freshness.
  • For vegan variation, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
