Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 fresh fruit for topping

Method
 

  1. Add oats, milk, and yogurt to a mason jar or container.
  2. Stir in chia seeds, sweetener, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Seal and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hours).
  4. In the morning, stir the oats and top with fresh fruit before serving.

Notes

Customize your oats with different milk bases, fruit, nut butters, or spices like cinnamon or cocoa powder. For best results, add toppings just before serving. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat gently if you prefer warm oats.
