Ingredients
Scale
Oats and Dairy
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk
Fruits and Seeds
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Flavorings and Sweeteners
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine base ingredients: In a medium jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and milk together thoroughly to ensure an even texture.
- Add flavorings and mix: Stir in the blueberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is uniformly combined.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquids fully and flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy as is, or enhance with additional toppings such as more blueberries, nut butter, or granola according to preference.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can make the mixture too mushy.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess—choose plain or vanilla-flavored based on your sweetness preference.
- Feel free to substitute milk with a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Add toppings like chopped nuts or shredded coconut for extra crunch in the morning.
- Can be prepared in single-serving jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
