  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
