For the Base

Step-by-Step Instructions for Overnight Oats

  • In a mixing bowl or jar, add 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 cups of your choice of milk, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, ½ cup of yogurt, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spoon to blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
  • Stir the mixture well to make sure all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The oats should be fully submerged in the liquid.
  • Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let your Overnight Oats chill for at least 6 hours, or better yet, overnight.
  • When you rise and shine, take your Overnight Oats out of the fridge. Give them a hearty stir to revive the creamy texture. Add a splash of milk if too thick.

Notes

Use high-quality rolled oats for the best texture and adjust sweetness according to taste before refrigerating.
