Easy Overnight Oats
Here's the basic recipe for overnight oats with rolled oats, milk, yogurt and chia seeds. They're delicious, so easy to make and perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (any milk will work, but I like unsweetened almond milk)
- ¼ cup plain yogurt or ¼ cup more milk (I like using Greek yogurt)
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (or your preferred sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- pinch of sea salt
- toppings of choice: fruit (nut butter, nuts, seeds, etc.)
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
- ¼ cup fresh berries (I like sliced strawberries and blueberries best)
Directions

Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and sea salt into a jar or storage container with a lid. Stir ingredients together. Place in the fridge overnight. If you're in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
