Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Toppings: Fresh berries, sliced banana, nut butter, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients. You will need one jar or container with a lid for each serving.
  2. In the container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Make sure no dry oats are stuck at the bottom.
  4. Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, check the consistency. If the oats are too thick, stir in a splash more milk.
  6. Add your desired toppings, such as fresh berries or nut butter, and eat immediately. This is a perfect portable breakfast.

Notes

  • For a high-protein oatmeal boost, add one scoop of your favorite protein powder when mixing the wet and dry ingredients.
  • If you are preparing these for weight loss, watch the added sweeteners and focus on high-fiber toppings like berries.
  • These are best made in individual jars for easy grab-and-go access for your quick morning routine.
