A quick, adaptable, and delicious overnight oats recipe perfect for busy mornings, made with rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (about 75 g) fresh fruit (berries, sliced banana, chopped apples, or peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon nuts or seeds (optional, chopped almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds in a jar or container and mix well.
  2. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Add 1/2 cup fresh fruit, mashing some berries gently if desired, or slice bananas thinly to prevent browning.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with extra fresh fruit, nuts or seeds, and a dash of cinnamon if desired. Serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; chia seeds help thicken and add fiber; adjust sweetness to taste; can customize with different fruits, nuts, or plant-based milks; keep sealed in fridge up to 4 days; do not freeze; reheat with splash of milk if desired.
