Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Flavorings and Toppings
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp sliced almonds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Extra shredded coconut and sliced almonds for serving
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp shredded coconut, 1 tbsp sliced almonds, 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until they are completely combined and the cocoa powder is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the oats to soak and the flavors to meld.
- Stir and Adjust: In the morning, remove the oats from the fridge, give them a good stir, and add a splash of almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Serve: Serve the overnight oats cold or warm them slightly if desired. Top with extra shredded coconut and sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk like cow’s milk, soy, or oat milk according to preference or dietary restrictions.
- For vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, add more maple syrup or honey to suit your palate.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
- To warm the oats, microwave them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, adding a splash of milk to loosen the texture if needed.
