🍳 Cookware

    Gather toppings of choice: fruit , maple syrup or honey , vanilla extract .
    toppings of choice: fruit (nut butter, nuts, seeds, etc.), maple syrup or honey: 1-2 teaspoons (or your preferred sweetener), vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
  2. 2
    Add oats , milk , yogurt , maple syrup, chia seeds , vanilla and sea salt into a jar or storage container with a lid. Stir ingredients together. Place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to ⏱️ 2-4 hours .
    oats: 1/2 cup (old fashioned rolled), milk: 1/2 cup (I like unsweetened almond milk), yogurt: 1/4 cup (plain greek, or 1/4 cup more milk), chia seeds: 1 teaspoon, sea salt (pinch of)

    The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy. You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.
