Overnight Oats with Yogurt

Overnight oats with yogurt are a simple no-cook breakfast made by soaking rolled oats with yogurt and milk overnight. As the oats absorb the liquid, they soften and develop a thick, creamy texture by morning. This easy meal-prep recipe takes only a few minutes to prepare and creates a balanced breakfast rich in fiber and protein.

Equipment

mason jar or container with lid
– Spoon

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (any type)
1/3 cup yogurt (Greek or regular)
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup

Instructions

Add rolled oats to a jar or container.
Add yogurt and milk to the jar.
Add chia seeds and honey or maple syrup.
Stir thoroughly until the oats and yogurt combine evenly.
Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Stir the oats in the morning and add toppings such as berries, nuts, or seeds before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for the best texture since they soften overnight without becoming mushy. Greek yogurt works particularly well because it adds extra protein and a thicker consistency. If the oats become too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk before serving. Overnight oats can be enjoyed cold or warmed briefly in the microwave if desired.
