Overnight oats are a lifesaver when you have a busy week ahead. You just mix everything in a jar the night before, and by morning, the oats have soaked up all the milk to create a texture that is much like pudding.

People love this recipe because it is so easy to customize with your favorite fruits or nuts. My best tip is to use rolled oats instead of instant ones, as they hold their shape better and stay nice and chewy rather than turning into mush.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grab a mason jar or a small glass container with a lid.

  2. 2

    Add the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla, and salt into the jar.

  3. 3

    Stir everything well until the ingredients are fully combined.

  4. 4

    Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least four hours.

  5. 5

    Give the oats a quick stir in the morning and add your favorite fresh fruit or nuts on top before eating.

💡 Tips

You can store these in the fridge for up to five days, which makes them perfect for meal prepping on a Sunday night. If the mixture is too thick in the morning, just splash in a little extra milk to reach your preferred consistency.
