Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chia seeds
- 12 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Topping (Optional):
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cream cheese, softened (for a frosting drizzle)
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) milk (to thin the frosting drizzle)
Instructions
- In a spacious container, blend rolled oats with creamy milk, tangy Greek yogurt, nutrient-packed chia seeds, golden maple syrup, aromatic ground cinnamon, fragrant vanilla extract, and a delicate pinch of salt. Whisk ingredients thoroughly until completely integrated.
- Seal the container securely and nestle into the refrigerator’s cool embrace for a minimum of 6-8 hours, allowing flavors to meld and oats to soften deliciously.
- When ready to indulge, gently stir the chilled oat mixture, introducing a splash of additional milk if the texture seems overly dense or compact.
- Transform softened cream cheese into a luxurious drizzle by whisking with rich brown sugar and a hint of milk until silky and pourable.
- Transfer overnight oats into a serving vessel, creating a smooth, creamy base that promises morning comfort.
- Crown your creation with the velvety cream cheese glaze, sprinkling a dusting of warm cinnamon across the surface for an extra layer of aromatic sweetness.
- Optional: Enhance with additional maple syrup or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon to personalize your breakfast experience.
Notes
- Customize the milk choice to suit dietary needs, like almond milk for dairy-free or oat milk for a richer flavor profile.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners such as honey or agave nectar for different taste variations and glycemic impact.
- Boost protein content by adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder directly into the overnight oats mixture for a more filling breakfast.
- Prepare multiple jars in advance for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week, storing them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
