In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk or milk alternative, and Greek yogurt. Stir well to ensure oats are fully immersed in the liquid.
Add chia seeds into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. These will help thicken the oats as they soak overnight.
Stir in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract for sweetening and flavor.
Gently fold in the berries, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw them; they will defrost overnight.
Add the chopped nuts and ground cinnamon, mixing lightly to incorporate them into the oat mixture.
Transfer the mixture into two airtight jars or containers, sealing them tightly with lids to prevent any air from getting in.
Refrigerate the jars or containers overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken.
In the morning, remove the jars from the refrigerator. Give the contents a good stir and enjoy the oatmeal cold or heat in the microwave for a minute if you prefer it warm.
