Instructions

In a jar or container that can be sealed, combine rolled oats, vanilla Greek yogurt, milk, cinnamon, chia seeds, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and a pinch of sea salt (if using). Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Seal the container and store it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
In the morning, add more milk if needed to achieve your preferred consistency.
For a cinnamon drizzle, whisk together 1 tbsp maple syrup and ¼ tsp cinnamon. For an icing drizzle, whisk powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Drizzle over the oats. Enjoy warm or cold, depending on your preference.

Notes

– Use certified gluten-free oats: If you need the recipe to be gluten-free. Substitute plant-based ingredients for vegan diets.

– Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze portions for longer storage; thaw in the fridge before serving. Avoid microwaving if possible.

– Customizations: Swap regular milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for variety. Add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or fresh fruit for added complexity.
