Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Toppings of your choice (fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Seal and Refrigerate: Seal the container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
3. Add Toppings and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, seeds, or a dollop of nut butter. Enjoy cold or warm it up in the microwave if you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats? Steel-cut oats can be used, but they will have a chewier texture. You may need to increase the soaking time or add more liquid.

2. How long do overnight oats last? Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them a great option for meal prep.

3. Can I make this recipe vegan? Absolutely! Use non-dairy milk and yogurt, and sweeten with maple syrup or agave instead of honey.

4. What are some other flavor variations? You can customize your overnight oats with different flavors like chocolate (add cocoa powder and chocolate chips), peanut butter (add a spoonful of peanut butter and sliced bananas), or tropical (add coconut milk, pineapple, and mango).

5. Can I add protein powder to my overnight oats? Yes, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to boost the protein content. Adjust the liquid ratio accordingly to avoid a dry texture.
