Description
Wholesome, velvety overnight oats cold-soaked with chia seeds, creamy Greek yogurt, almond milk, and pure vanilla. The ultimate grab-and-go healthy breakfast!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 2/3 cup (160 ml) unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or whole dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons (30g) plain Greek yogurt (whole-milk or 2%)
- 1/2 tablespoon (6g) black or white chia seeds
- 1 to 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt (pinch)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh toppings: sliced strawberries, blueberries, toasted almonds
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In an 8-ounce or 16-ounce glass Mason jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Stir with a spoon so chia seeds disperse evenly.
- Add Liquids and Emulsify: Pour in milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk or stir vigorously from bottom to top until yogurt blends smoothly with zero dry pockets.
- Rest and Secondary Stir: Let rest on the counter for 3 minutes as chia seeds begin absorbing liquid. Give one final 10-second stir to prevent settling.
- Seal and Chill Overnight: Fasten lid securely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (ideally 8 to 12 hours). In the morning, stir gently, top with fresh berries, sliced almonds, and a touch of honey, and enjoy cold straight from the jar!
Notes
Keep plain jars sealed in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For freezing, leave 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of the jar and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
