Ingredients
  

Base

  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Sweetener and Flavor

  • 1 tsp honey, maple syrup, or agave (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Mix-ins (optional)

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Toppings (optional)

  • Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, or apple chunks)
  • Nuts, seeds, or granola for crunch
  • Nut butter or chocolate chips for indulgence

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Combine Ingredients
    In a jar or container with a lid, combine oats, milk, yogurt (if using), and sweetener. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully coated.
  • Step 2: Add Mix-ins
    Mix in chia seeds, flaxseeds, or cinnamon for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Step 3: Chill
    Cover the container with a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  • Step 4: Stir and Top
    In the morning, give your oats a good stir and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

Notes

  • For thicker oats, reduce the amount of milk slightly.
  • Want a warm option? Heat the oats in the microwave for 30-60 seconds before adding toppings.
