A creamy, healthy breakfast made by soaking rolled oats overnight with milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and natural sweeteners for a quick and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s milk, or dairy-free alternative) (120ml)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (60g)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh or frozen berries, sliced banana, or chopped nuts for topping and mix-ins

Instructions

  1. Pulse ¼ cup (22g) of rolled oats in a blender or food processor for about 10 seconds until slightly ground, then combine with the remaining oats in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add ½ cup (120ml) milk, ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the oats. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Spoon the mixture into mason jars or airtight containers, leaving space at the top. Seal tightly with lids.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably 8–10 hours. Stir before serving.

Notes

Pulse part of the oats for extra creaminess. Stir before serving to even out texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Can be stored up to 4 days in the fridge or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat if desired with a splash of milk.
