The Best Overnight Oats

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 8 hours
• total time: 8 hours

Ingredients

½ cup old fashioned rolled oats

½ cup milk (I like unsweetened almond milk)

¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or ¼ cup more milk)

1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (or your preferred sweetener)

1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

pinch of sea salt

toppings of choice: fruit (nut butter, nuts, seeds, etc.)

2 Tablespoons chocolate chips

1 Tablespoon peanut butter

¼ cup fresh berries (I like sliced strawberries and blueberries best)

1 Tablespoon strawberry jam or chia jam

Directions

Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and sea salt into a jar or storage container with a lid. Stir ingredients together. Place in the fridge overnight. If you're in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.

The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy. You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.

Chocolate Chip

Stir 1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then sprinkle oats with remaining chocolate chips to serve.

Peanut Butter

Stir 1/2 Tablespoon of peanut butter into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then drizzle oats with remaining peanut butter to serve.

Berry

Stir 2 Tablespoons of berries into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then top layer of jam and remaining fresh berries.
