Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries
  • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds optional

Method
 

  1. Add the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla to a lidded jar or bowl. Stir thoroughly, scraping the bottom so the chia seeds do not clump.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the oats are soft and the mixture is creamy. If it is thicker than you like, stir in a splash of milk.
  3. Top with berries and chopped almonds just before eating. Enjoy cold, or warm gently in a microwave-safe bowl and add the toppings afterward.
