Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Additional plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon icing sugar
  • Splash of milk (any type)
  • Extra ground cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into the dry mix. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
  3. Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture into individual jars or containers with lids. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.
  4. Prepare Topping (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together additional plain Greek yogurt, icing sugar, and a splash of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary, to achieve a creamy topping.
  5. Serve: Before serving, stir the oats to combine. Top with the prepared yogurt mixture and sprinkle extra cinnamon over the top. Enjoy the oats cold right from the fridge or warm them briefly if preferred.

Notes

  • You can customize sweetness by adjusting the amount of brown sugar.
  • For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Oats can be soaked up to 24 hours in the refrigerator but consuming within 12 hours is best for freshness.
  • If warming, microwave the oats for about 30 seconds to 1 minute; stir and add toppings afterward.
  • Adding fruits like chopped apples or berries as toppings pairs well with the cinnamon flavor.
