Instructions
- 1
Pour 0.5 cup of rolled oats into a mason jar or any container with a tight-fitting lid.
- 2
Add 0.5 cup of plain Greek yogurt on top of the oats—use a spoon to press it down gently so it settles.
- 3
Pour 0.5 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) over the yogurt and oats, then stir the mixture with a spoon until no dry oats remain visible.
- 4
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup into the jar, then stir once more until the sweetener is distributed throughout.
- 5
Add 0.5 cup of fresh berries or sliced banana on top, then cover the jar with its lid.
- 6
Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight until the oats absorb the liquid and thicken.
- 7
Remove the jar from the refrigerator and stir the oats well—if too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra milk and stir.
- 8
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds or chopped walnuts on top, then eat directly from the jar or pour into a bowl.
