Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Add-ins
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
Toppings (Optional)
- Extra cranberries or white chocolate chips
- Sliced almonds or granola
- Orange zest for brightness
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, mix together the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Add Cranberries and White Chocolate: Stir in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips evenly throughout the oat mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquids.
- Stir and Top: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine everything once more. Add any desired toppings such as extra cranberries, white chocolate chips, sliced almonds or granola, and a sprinkle of orange zest for extra flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them gently if you prefer a cozy breakfast option.
Notes
- Use dairy or non-dairy milk based on preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- Chia seeds are optional but help thicken the oats and add nutrition.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to swap white chocolate chips for dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor.
