Scale
Overnight Oats
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- â…” cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup full fat Greek yogurt
- â…“ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, full fat Greek yogurt, blueberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate overnight: Seal the bowl or jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Prepare to serve: The following morning, remove the container from the fridge. Stir the mixture well; the oats will have absorbed much of the liquid and become creamy.
- Adjust consistency and serve: If the oats are too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Optionally, top with fresh blueberries or your favorite toppings before enjoying your nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- Use rolled oats rather than instant or steel-cut oats for best texture.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but can be omitted for a vegan version.
- If using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw before adding.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted to taste or replaced with honey or agave nectar.
