Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (e.g., almond milk, oat milk, or regular milk)
- 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (5g) chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (5g) cinnamon (for swirl)
- 1 teaspoon (5g) brown sugar (for swirl)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, raisins, drizzle of icing
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
- If using, sprinkle in chia seeds and mix again. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to slightly thicken.
- In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar. Swirl this mixture into the oats using the back of a spoon for a marbled effect.
- Divide the mixture into mason jars or containers, leaving room for toppings.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
- In the morning, top with crushed walnuts, raisins, or a drizzle of icing for extra indulgence.
Notes
Avoid instant oats as they may become too mushy. Adjust sweetness to taste before refrigerating. Make multiple jars for the week to save time during busy mornings.
