Equipment

mason jar or airtight container
mixing spoon
measuring cups
refrigerator

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
1/4 cup fresh berries or sliced banana

Instructions

Add rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a jar or airtight container.
Stir everything thoroughly until the chia seeds and oats are evenly distributed.
If using yogurt, stir it into the mixture for extra creaminess and protein.
Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Remove the oats from the refrigerator and stir again before serving.
Top with berries, banana slices, peanut butter, granola, or cinnamon if desired, then serve cold or slightly warmed.

Notes

Use rolled oats for the best creamy texture. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving. Add extra milk before serving if the oats become too thick. Customize with fruit, nut butter, yogurt, or protein powder.
