🥛 The Ingredients You Need

• Oats: I recommend rolled oats here. Quick cooking or steel cut oats won't have the same texture (but they are great in my slow cooker steel cut oats recipe).
• Greek Yogurt: any plain Greek yogurt will do, or you can use homemade yogurt, just make sure to strain it first (here's the yogurt strainer I use every week)
• Chia seeds: help them thicken up the oats as well as add protein and fiber, you can also swap in equal amounts of flax meal
• Honey or maple syrup: I prefer the flavor of maple syrup in these oats, but either option works-or leave out the sweetener all together if you want to cut back on sugar.
• Flavoring: the recipe listed here is for the base vanilla overnight oats recipe, but depending on what flavor you are making, you'll add all kinds of yummy goodies!

Make sure to check the recipe card below for the full ingredients list, along with quantities and my expert tips and tricks.

🔁 Variations & Substitutions

• Make it vegan: Use maple syrup, plant-based milk (almond milk or oatmilk work great) and vegan Greek yogurt
• Make it gluten-free: These oats are naturally gluten-free as long as you choose certified gluten-free oats.
• No chia seeds? Swap in equal amounts of ground flax.
• Up the protein: Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder!
• Make it sugar-free: Drop the sweetener and add a ½ mashed ripe banana. Or use stevia or monk fruit sweetener in place of the maple syrup or honey if you prefer.

🥣 How to Make Healthy Overnight Oats

Step 1: Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Mix well to combine.

Step 3: Spoon into a jar or other food storage container. I like either Weck 742 Half Liter jars or Ball Wide Mouth Pint jars for the full batch. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Step 4: Serve cold topped with whatever toppings bring you joy: nut butter, nuts, chocolate chips, fruit, etc.
