Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl or container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to soak and soften as they absorb the liquids and flavors.
- Stir and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to evenly distribute the mixture, then divide into serving bowls or jars.
- Add Toppings (Optional): Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup for added texture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use rolled oats rather than instant or steel-cut oats for the best texture.
- Milk can be substituted with any non-dairy alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup and brown sugar.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, use non-dairy yogurt and milk.
- Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutritional boost.
