Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup (or honey/agave)
- 1 tsp Brown sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon (mixed into the oats)
- 1 Dash Cinnamon (for topping or extra swirl)
- 1 Pinch Salt
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
- Pecans or walnuts (toasted, roughly chopped)
- 1 tbsp Cream cheese or Greek yogurt drizzle (dairy-free option available)
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, plain (dairy-free option available)
- 1/2 cup Milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
Instructions
- In a jar or container, add the rolled oats, maple syrup, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and stir briefly so the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Add the milk and Greek yogurt. Stir until everything is well mixed and the oats are submerged.
- Add cream cheese or an extra drizzle of Greek yogurt on top, and sprinkle the chopped nuts over the surface.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight (at least 6–8 hours).
- The next morning, stir, add another dash of cinnamon if desired, and enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
Adjust the maple syrup and brown sugar to taste. Rolled oats give the best texture; steel-cut oats won’t soften enough without extra time.
