Description

Greek Yogurt Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds offer a quick, nutrient-dense breakfast full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Creamy Greek yogurt combined with rolled oats, chia seeds, and your choice of milk creates a delicious, customizable, and convenient make-ahead meal perfect for busy mornings or relaxed weekends.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: Start by adding rolled oats and chia seeds into a jar or bowl. These absorb liquids and expand overnight, forming the perfect base.
  2. Add Greek Yogurt and Milk: Mix in the Greek yogurt and your choice of milk for creaminess. The yogurt boosts protein, while the milk helps soften the oats and chia seeds.
  3. Sweeten and Flavor: Add your preferred natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the taste gently.
  4. Stir and Refrigerate: Give everything a good mix so all ingredients are well-incorporated, then cover and refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats, then add your favorite toppings or mix-ins to create a personalized breakfast bowl.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture and creamier mouthfeel compared to non-fat options.
  • Adjust milk quantity to control the thickness or runniness of your oats.
  • Ensure chia seeds absorb enough liquid overnight to avoid a gritty texture.
  • Mix all ingredients thoroughly before refrigerating for even flavor distribution and to prevent clumping.
  • Opt for rolled oats over instant oats to retain a pleasant chewiness without turning mushy.
