Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt, then add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and blueberries. Stir well to mix everything thoroughly, making sure the oats are fully submerged in the liquid.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir to redistribute the ingredients. Enjoy it cold straight from the fridge, or warm it briefly in the microwave if you prefer a warm breakfast.
- Optional Toppings: Top with additional fresh blueberries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or some nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can prepare multiple servings ahead of time to have breakfasts ready for the entire week.
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk before serving and stir well.
- Substitute blueberries with other seasonal berries or fruits according to your preference.
- If preferred, use non-dairy milk options like almond, oat, or soy milk to make it dairy-free.
