Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or cow’s milk, unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (40g) fresh or frozen berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a jar or bowl. Stir gently to combine evenly.
  2. Add 3/4 cup milk of choice. If using, add 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly.
  3. Fold in optional add-ins like berries or chopped nuts gently to maintain texture.
  4. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to thicken.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Mix ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumps. Adjust sweetness and thickness to taste. Store in airtight containers up to 4 days. Let sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes before eating if fridge is very cold.
