Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
- 2 cups milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats and chia seeds.
- Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl.
- Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until no dry pockets or yogurt streaks remain.
- Divide the mixture evenly among 4 to 6 individual jars or containers with lids.
- Seal the containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats well. Add desired toppings and serve.
Notes
For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick or instant oats. The mixture will be loose before chilling; it thickens as it rests. Adjust sweetness in the morning if needed. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
