Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons raisins (can also use dried cherries or cranberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ⅛ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a glass mason jar or any sealable container, add the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and raisins. You can either layer these ingredients or stir them together until well mixed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, softening to a creamy texture.
- Serve: In the morning, enjoy the overnight oats cold directly from the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes if you prefer a hot breakfast.
Notes
- This recipe is highly customizable: substitute raisins with dried cherries or cranberries for different flavors.
- Using a mason jar makes the oats easy to store and transport.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired.
- For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Overnight oats can be prepared in larger batches and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
