Overnight Oats (The Right Way)
Overnight oats done wrong are a gelatinous slog that tastes like sadness soaked in milk. Done right, they're genuinely creamy, slightly thick, and filling in a way that carries you through the morning. The ratio is everything, and the yogurt is non-negotiable.
What You Need
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk, any kind
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- honey, fruit, or nut butter for topping
How to Make It
- 1
Combine oats, milk, yogurt, and chia seeds in a jar or container. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
- 2
In the morning, stir well — the chia seeds will have absorbed liquid and thickened everything considerably. If it's too thick for your taste, stir in a splash more milk.
- 3
Top with whatever you have: sliced banana, berries, honey, granola, or a spoonful of peanut butter.
