Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup rolled oats (Bob’s Red Mill recommended)
  • ½ cup milk or milk alternative (whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (blend cottage cheese for smoother texture)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Flavor boosters (choose from cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, fresh or frozen berries, peanut butter or almond butter, dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder, mashed bananas, shredded coconut, toast…

Instructions

  1. Combine ½ cup rolled oats with ½ cup milk or milk alternative in a jar or container.
  2. Stir in ¼ cup Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese.
  3. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener and mix well.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed to thicken and boost nutrition.
  5. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and chosen spices or flavor boosters.
  6. Fold in fruits, nut butters, chocolate, or nuts depending on the flavor.
  7. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-10 hours.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats well, add a splash of milk if too thick, and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butter before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid steel-cut oats. Blend cottage cheese for a smoother texture. Soak oats for at least 6 hours, preferably 8-10 hours. Adjust sweeteners to taste. Add firmer toppings fresh before serving. Store in airtight containers up to 4 days in fridge or freeze up to 1 month.
