Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
Oats Mixture
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Fruit and Toppings
- 3/4 cup blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or almond butter for young kids
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup or honey, rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla extract, sea salt, blueberries, and chopped almonds or almond butter thoroughly to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Divide and Cover: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids. Secure the lids to keep the oats fresh while they soak.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids, creating a creamy, pudding-like texture.
- Serve Cold: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir and top with additional fresh blueberries before serving chilled for a refreshing and wholesome breakfast.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, oat, or cow’s milk.
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- This recipe can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
- If you don’t have chia seeds, you can omit them, but they add valuable fiber and texture.
- Almond butter is recommended for young kids instead of chopped almonds to avoid choking hazards.
