Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (large flake oats)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy milk or plant-based milk)
  • ⅔ cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works best)
  • ½ ripe banana (mashed)
  • 1 Tbsp honey (pure maple syrup or sugar)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 1–2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • ½ ripe banana (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the rolled oats, milk, plain yogurt, mashed banana, chopped walnuts (if using), honey, chia seeds (if using), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate: Pour the mixture evenly into two containers like mason jars, seal with lids, and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
  3. Serve: In the morning, remove the jars from the fridge and stir the oats well. Add sliced banana and chopped walnuts or any other preferred toppings. Enjoy your overnight oats cold with a spoon.

Notes

  • Using mason jars or airtight containers is recommended for easy storage and portability.
  • Greek yogurt is preferred for creaminess and added protein, but any plain yogurt can be used.
  • Sweeteners like honey can be substituted with pure maple syrup or sugar according to taste or dietary preference.
  • Chia seeds and walnuts add texture and nutritional benefits but are optional.
  • This recipe is ideal for meal prepping breakfast that can be ready to eat immediately in the morning.
