Overnight Oats Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight, or for at least 6 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
  3. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine any separated liquid. Serve chilled directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and coconut yogurt.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste.
  • Add toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds before serving for added texture and flavor.
  • Overnight oats can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days for meal prep convenience.
