Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Fruit and Toppings
- 1 small banana, chopped (plus extra for serving, if you like)
- 2 teaspoons miniature chocolate chips (plus extra for serving, if you like)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup or honey, rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla extract, sea salt, chopped banana, and miniature chocolate chips very well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Portion Into Containers: Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or containers, then cover them tightly with lids or plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the covered jars in the refrigerator and let them chill overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften. Serve cold topped with additional banana slices and chocolate chips if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- For added texture, sprinkle nuts or seeds on top before serving.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled and stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer warm oats, heat the mixture gently before serving.
