Ingredients
1/2 cup Whole Rolled Oats
1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
1/2 teaspoon Maple Syrup
1 pinch Sea Salt
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
2/3 cup Almond Milk
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, sea salt, and Greek yogurt inside a Mason jar or airtight lidded container.
Pour in the almond milk over the solid ingredients.
Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon to ensure no dry clumps of oats or chia seeds remain at the bottom.
Seal the lid tightly and place the jar in the refrigerator for at least eight hours or overnight to allow the texture to set.
Notes
Use thick-cut rolled oats for the best chewy texture. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add an extra splash of almond milk before serving. Variations include adding applesauce and cinnamon for apple pie flavor, or cocoa powder and mashed banana for chocolate banana bread oats.
