Overnight Oats with Greek Yogurt
These overnight oats with Greek yogurt come together in minutes with oats, milk, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon, then chill into a creamy breakfast you can top with fruit and nuts.
Ingredients
- 250 g Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 ml whole milk
- 135 g old-fashioned oats
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Blueberries for topping
- Banana for topping
- Walnuts for topping
- Honey for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, whole milk, honey, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the old-fashioned oats and stir until evenly mixed and coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, until the oats are soft and creamy.
- Stir well before serving, divide into individual serving bowls, and top with blueberries, banana, walnuts, and a drizzle of honey if desired.
Notes
Whisk Until Smooth: I like to whisk the yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla until the mixture looks completely silky before adding the oats; this helps everything taste even and prevents little yogurt pockets.
Salt Makes a Difference: That small pinch of kosher salt brings out the sweetness from the honey and makes the cinnamon taste warmer, not flat.
Fine-Tune the Texture: If you like a thicker, spoonable texture, use slightly less milk next time. If you prefer it looser, add a splash of milk in the morning and stir well before serving.
