Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 2-cup jar

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl or 2-cup jar, stir together the oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until evenly combined.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  3. Stir before serving.

Notes

For the thickest texture, stir well before chilling so the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because it can affect the texture. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free yogurt and milk.
