Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk or regular milk
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt or regular yogurt (optional)

Flavorings & Add-ins

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, agave, etc.)
  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp berry jam, jelly, or preserves
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • Blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries (optional)
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Granola (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, milk, yogurt (if using), peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into a jar or airtight container. Mix everything together thoroughly, then seal with the lid.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator and let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
  3. Stir and Adjust Consistency: The next morning, remove the lid and stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen the consistency to your liking.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Enjoy the oats directly from the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Add the berry jam and an extra tablespoon of peanut butter on top. Finish with any desired mix-ins like fresh berries, chopped peanuts, or granola for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use dairy or non-dairy milk and yogurt according to dietary preference or availability.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or other liquid sweeteners as desired.
  • Overnight soaking can be done for a minimum of 4 hours but overnight is best for texture.
  • Add toppings just before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk, yogurt, and maple syrup (avoid honey).
