Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk or milk alternative
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup fresh or frozen berries
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Add chia seeds into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. These will help thicken the oats as they soak overnight.

Step 3

Stir in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract for sweetening and flavor.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the chopped nuts and ground cinnamon, mixing lightly to incorporate them into the oat mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into two airtight jars or containers, sealing them tightly with lids to prevent any air from getting in.

Step 7

Refrigerate the jars or containers overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken.

Step 8

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.
