Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (or honey)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
1/4 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients. In a small jar (such as a mason jar) or resealable container, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and optional pinch of cinnamon.
Step 2: Add the wet base. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and alcohol-free vanilla extract into the container with the dry ingredients.
Step 3: Thoroughly stir the mixture. Use a spoon or whisk to vigorously stir all the ingredients together until the chia seeds and oats are evenly suspended and the sweetener is dissolved.
Step 4: Seal and refrigerate. Place a lid securely on the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
Step 5: Adjust and serve. The next morning, check the consistency; if it is too thick, stir in an extra splash of almond milk. Top the prepared overnight oats with the fresh or frozen mixed berries just before eating.
Notes
Store sealed in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it perfect for meal prepping a week of quick, healthy breakfasts.
This breakfast is designed to be eaten cold; if the consistency is too stiff after extended storage, stir in an extra splash of almond milk to restore creaminess.
For an extra boost of satisfying crunch and healthy fats, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans on top just before enjoying.
To naturally sweeten and deepen the flavor without adding more maple syrup, mix frozen berries into the base before refrigeration, allowing them to gently thaw and infuse the oats overnight.
