Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and mini chocolate chips thoroughly to distribute them evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt (if using), maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and almond or peanut butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the oats and chia seeds are fully submerged in the liquid for proper soaking.
- Transfer to container: Pour the mixture into a mason jar or any airtight container suitable for refrigeration.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if the texture is too thick. Enjoy directly from the jar or serve in a bowl.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use Greek yogurt; omit for a lighter version.
- Substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any nut butter of your choice.
- Use maple syrup to keep the recipe vegan instead of honey.
- Add fresh fruit toppings like sliced bananas or berries for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make several jars in advance for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
