Ready in minutes and customizable with your favorite milk and yogurt, it’s a wholesome and satisfying way to start your day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings (Optional)

  • Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or mason jar, mix together the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure everything is combined evenly. Then add the honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, salt, and raisins. Mix thoroughly so the flavors meld together.
  2. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This soaking time allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquids, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Serve: In the morning, stir the oats mixture well. If it seems too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen the consistency to your liking. Serve the oats in bowls or jars, topped with chopped nuts or extra raisins if desired. Enjoy the oats cold straight from the fridge, or warm them in the microwave for about one minute for a cozy breakfast.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk or yogurt you prefer, including dairy-free alternatives like almond, soy, or coconut milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and kept refrigerated.
  • For extra creaminess, use Greek yogurt or add a spoonful of nut butter.
  • If warming, do so in short intervals to avoid overheating or curdling the yogurt.
