Directions

Make the base recipe: In a Mason jar or other lidded container, place the milk, yogurt (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla. Then add salt, oats, and chia seeds. Stir until the mixture is well combined and there are no clumps of chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for up to 5 days.

In the morning, top with your desired toppings and serve with drizzles of maple syrup if youd like.

I usually throw in a few frozen mixed berries and some chopped walnuts, but here are a few other fun variations.

For APPLE CRISP stir applesauce and cinnamon into the overnight oat base. Top with diced apple, chopped pecans, and drizzles of maple syrup, if desired.

For PEACH CRISP overnight oats, make the plain overnight oat base. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, top with peach slices, granola, and drizzles of maple syrup, if desired.

For PB&J overnight oats, top with chia jam, peanut butter, chopped strawberries, raspberries, and chopped peanuts.
