Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Pinch of salt
Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed together.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips so they are distributed throughout the mixture without melting.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Stir and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine any settled ingredients. Top with extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of your favorite nut butter if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve the oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them briefly in the microwave for a cozy breakfast treat.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based milk and yogurt.
- You can swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar to suit your preference.
- Feel free to use any nut butter you like, such as peanut butter or cashew butter.
