Equipment
- Glass jars or any airtight container with a lid
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk or milk of choice
- ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, add all the wet ingredients (milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract) Whisk to combine.
- Add oats and chia seeds to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. Note: Pour into individual jars with lids for a quick grab-and-go option.
- Serve warm or cold with toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture for overnight oats. Quick oats become too soft and mushy, while steel-cut oats don’t soften enough and stay overly chewy.
- If your oats are too thick, simply add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. If they are too thin, mix in some extra chia seeds or yogurt to thicken them up.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- If you are serving vanilla overnight oats warm, heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds to one minute. Stir and microwave again if necessary.
