Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar, add the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6-8 hours to allow the oats to soak and absorb the liquids, softening to a delicious creamy texture.
Add Toppings and Serve: In the morning, add your choice of toppings from the variations provided—such as fresh fruit, zest, nuts, or chocolate chips. Enjoy directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl for serving.

Notes

You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice, such as dairy milk or oat milk.
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and ensure the maple syrup is pure.
The oats soften best when soaked overnight; however, a minimum of 4 hours can work if you’re short on time.
Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup or alternative sweeteners.
The recipe is highly customizable by switching up the fruits and nuts according to seasonal availability or preferences.
