A quick and easy overnight oats recipe that delivers a creamy texture and wholesome goodness, perfect for busy mornings and a healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup (40g) fresh or frozen berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In your mason jar or container, add ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in ½ cup milk and ¼ cup Greek yogurt. Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey) and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well until combined.
  3. Add fruit (optional): Gently fold in berries or layer on top.
  4. Seal and refrigerate: Close the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Morning check: Stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Adjust sweetness if desired. If chia seeds were omitted, stir some in now and let sit 10 minutes.
  6. Serve: Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or cinnamon if desired. Enjoy chilled or warm gently in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds help thicken and add fiber. Adjust sweetness after soaking. Can be warmed in microwave for 30-60 seconds. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days. Avoid metal lids if microwaving leftovers.
