Mix together oats, milk, vanilla, yoghurt, honey and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
½ cup Rolled oats, ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract, ½ cup Whole milk, ¼ cup Greek yoghurt, 1 tablespoon honey, Pinch of Salt
Pour the mixture in a glass jar or container then cover and put in the fridge for overnight.
For breakfast, stir well then add your toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Oats will get softer the longer they remain.
Adding a tablespoon of chia seeds helps to thicken your oats and make them creamier. (They also have lots of health benefits.)
You can add the toppings or adds-in to the oats to soak overnight, or you can add them fresh before serving. For me, I like adding them before serving.
If you choose to make this recipe with Quick-cooking oats, I suggest reducing the amount of milk by a quarter cup.
The liquid amount is very important for the oat’s consistency; this recipe will give you a thick, creamy, and slightly chewy oats. If you like it to be a little liquidy, you can add more milk (about a quarter cup more).
You can use plain yoghurt instead of Greek yoghurt and if you are not a fan of yoghurt at all substitute it with ¼ cup milk and 1.5 tablespoons of chia seeds to thicken your oats.
Dairy-Free: Use non-dairy milk such as almond or coconut milk instead of whole milk.
