Ingredients
½ cup Rolled oats (old-fashioned)
½ cup Milk of your choice
¼ cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Chia seeds
1–2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener)
¼ cup Raisins
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Choose a jar or airtight container (a 16‑oz mason jar works great).
- Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir or shake to spread ingredients evenly.
- Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and raisins.
- Mix thoroughly—shake the jar for about 15–20 seconds or stir well to ensure no dry pockets of oats.
- Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (around 8 hours) for the best texture and flavor.
- In the morning, stir to recombine any separated liquid. Add toppings if desired and enjoy cold or warm it up briefly (60–90 seconds in the microwave).
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
- Swap dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives for a vegan version.
- To thicken, add more chia seeds or reduce milk slightly.
- To thin, stir in a bit of milk or yogurt.
- Meal prep several jars ahead for a busy week.
- Store in the fridge up to 4–5 days; texture softens over time.
- Leave about 1 inch of headspace in the jar for toppings and expansion.
