Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and mini chocolate chips into your container or jar. These dry ingredients create the foundation and add texture to your overnight oats.
- Mix Wet Ingredients Separately: In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, milk, almond or peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. This wet mixture infuses the oats with creamy, sweet, and nutty flavors that mimic cookie dough.
- Combine and Stir Well: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to ensure every oat flake is evenly coated. This step is key to achieving an irresistible creamy texture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal your container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the oats to soak, absorb the flavors, and develop perfect creaminess.
- Enjoy and Customize: In the morning, give your oats a good stir, then add any desired toppings or extra mix-ins like fresh fruit, nuts, or extra chocolate chips for a personalized breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use rolled oats instead of instant oats for optimal texture and creaminess.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to your preference.
- Choose thick Greek yogurt or any thick yogurt variety to maintain a rich and creamy consistency.
- Prepare multiple servings in advance for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
- Add mix-ins such as nuts or fresh fruit just before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.
