Overnight Oats
Instructions
- 1
In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- 2
Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and the oats are fully submerged in the liquid.
- 3
Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
- 4
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. The mixture should be thick and creamy. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- 5
Top with sliced banana, mixed berries, and sliced almonds just before serving.
- 6
Enjoy cold straight from the refrigerator, or warm it up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer it warm.
Chef's Note
"The beauty of overnight oats is their versatility - prepare several jars on Sunday evening for grab-and-go breakfasts all week. For the creamiest texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick oats, and don't skip the chia seeds as they help create that perfect pudding-like consistency."
