Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (cow’s milk, almond milk, or any other milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh fruit (such as banana slices, berries)
  • Nuts
  • Seeds


Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, and Greek yogurt. Stir well until the oats are fully coated in the liquid.
  2. Add sweeteners and flavorings: Add in the maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir again to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
  3. Refrigerate to soak: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight, to allow the oats to soak up the liquid and flavors.
  4. Adjust consistency: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re thicker than you prefer, add a splash of milk to loosen the consistency.
  5. Serve and top: Serve the oats cold, topped with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for added texture and nutritional benefits.
  6. Enjoy: Enjoy your creamy, sweet, and satisfying Maple Brown Sugar Overnight Oats!

Notes

  • Use any milk of choice; almond, soy, or dairy milk all work well.
  • Customize sweetness by adjusting maple syrup and brown sugar to taste.
  • Overnight oats keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
