Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or plant-based yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Chopped nuts
- Raisins
- Additional maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine, ensuring all the oats are evenly coated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture similar to cinnamon rolls.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to redistribute any liquid. Add your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, raisins, and a drizzle of extra maple syrup if desired. Enjoy the oats cold or warm them up briefly in the microwave for a cozy breakfast.
Notes
- You can use any milk or yogurt variety, including dairy-free options like almond milk or coconut yogurt.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by increasing or reducing the maple syrup or honey.
- For a thicker texture, reduce the amount of milk slightly or add more oats.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Warming the oats is optional and can be done in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
