Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • A pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (any variety such as almond, oat, or dairy)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the rolled oats, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the flavors.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients into a uniform mixture that resembles a cookie dough texture.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the mixture into two jars or airtight containers. Seal them and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  4. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to bowls. Optionally, add extra chocolate chips or nuts on top for added crunch and decadence.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter if preferred.
  • Use any kind of milk such as cow’s milk, almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk based on dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing maple syrup or brown sugar to taste.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives.
  • Chocolate chips can be replaced with dark chocolate or cacao nibs for a richer flavor.
  • Make sure to refrigerate overnight for the best texture and flavor.
