Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup heaping rolled oats
- ⅔ cup unsweetened milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or ground flax meal)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 0-2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
Pumpkin and Spice Mix
- ½ cup plain pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, rolled oats, unsweetened milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, salt, honey, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Portion and Refrigerate: Spoon the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with tight-fitting lids. Seal the jars tightly to prevent moisture loss and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight is preferred to allow the oats and seeds to fully absorb the liquids and soften.
Notes
- Use any unsweetened milk alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk depending on your preference.
- Adjust sweetness by varying honey or maple syrup amounts.
- For added texture and flavor, top with nuts or fresh fruit before serving.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for meal prep.
