Sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar Adjust amount based on personal preference; start with 1 tablespoon.
Creaminess
  • 1 cup Milk (of choice) Substitution: Any plant-based milk like almond or soy can be used.
  • ½ cup Greek Yogurt Substitution: Use dairy-free yogurt for a non-dairy option.

Equipment

  • jar or bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Combine in a medium-sized jar or bowl, 1 cup of old-fashioned oats with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Mix these dry ingredients until evenly distributed.
  2. Pour in 1 cup of your choice of milk alongside ½ cup of Greek yogurt. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are fully immersed.
  3. Cover your jar or bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, or ideally overnight.
  4. When ready, stir the jar of overnight oats to refresh the mixture. Optionally, add extra brown sugar and top with fresh berries, nuts, or honey.
