There are a bazillion different overnight oats recipes out there, but I really like this one! It has some Greek yogurt in it for a little extra protein, and I like how thick the oats become along with the Chia seeds. Variations are endless, of course. You don’t have to layer it into a glass, but it certainly looks pretty if you do!

Steps

None

1

Gather the ingredients. Not pictured is the sweetener. I chose to use honey this time.
2

Combine all the ingredients (except the fruit) in a bowl.
3

Mix well.
4

Transfer the mixture to a container with a lid. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
5

Scoop a dollop of the oat mixture into a bowl (or a parfait glass). You can thin it with a little milk if you don’t like it that thick.
Add a layer of chopped fruit of your choice. Today, I used a berry mixture. Alternate layers of oats and fruit.
6

Add additional sweetener to taste.
You can also warm the oat mixture, if you prefer.
Leftover oat mixture will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes:
🥛. If you don’t like cow’s milk, you can use almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, etc.
🥛 If you don’t like yogurt, omit it and use a little more milk instead.
