Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients in a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Add the wet ingredients including milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix thoroughly until well combined and no dry pockets remain.
  4. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Stir well before serving and add desired toppings.

Notes

For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. Stir the mixture again about 30 minutes into chilling to prevent chia seeds from clumping. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
