Over Night Oats

This no-cook method of making oatmeal is fabulous. Instead of cooking your oats with liquid on the stove or in the microwave, you mix rolled (old-fashioned) oats with the liquid and other mix-ins, and let it rest in the fridge overnight. You can try different additions to make it any sort of delicious you prefer. Here is a basic recipe to get you started.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (heaping) rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 0-2 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. Whisk together all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Spoon into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Close and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before eating.

Swapping Options:

  • Sugar Free: Drop the sweetener, and add 1/2 mashed ripe banana.
  • Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, and maple syrup for sweetener.
  • Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free oats.
