Calories: 385

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old -fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or almond milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a 12-ounce glass mason jar.
  2. Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon or seal the jar and shake vigorously until the brown sugar is fully incorporated and no dry pockets of oats remain.
  3. Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, though 8 hours is recommended for optimal texture.
  4. Remove from the refrigerator and stir the oats once more to redistribute the moisture.
  5. Thin with an additional splash of milk if a looser consistency is desired and serve chilled.
