Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 2/3 cup milk (160ml)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (12g)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (21g)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (0.5g)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (1.2ml)
  • 1 pinch salt (0.2g)

Instructions:

  1. Pour the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt into your 16 oz glass jar. Note: Doing this first ensures the yogurt is fully dissolved before the oats soak up the liquid.
  2. Whisk the mixture vigorously with a fork or small whisk until the yogurt is completely smooth and there are no white lumps.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
  4. Mix again, ensuring every single oat is submerged in the liquid. Note: Any dry oats on top will stay hard and gritty by morning.
  5. Seal the lid tightly.
  6. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. Wait until the oats have fully absorbed the liquid before opening.
  7. Give the oats a thorough stir in the morning.
  8. If the mixture looks too thick, stir in one extra tablespoon of milk.
  9. Fold in your fresh toppings just before serving.
