Ingredients (for 4 servings)
- 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
- half a cup of plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 1 and 1/4 cups of milk (or non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, oat, coconut, or cashew milk are the best ones).
- a pinch of kosher salt
- optional: 2 tablespoons of wheat bran, or chia seeds (for more fiber)
- optional: 1 or 2 tablespoons agave syrup or your choice of sweetener (if you want to make it sweet)
Instructions
Combine your milk, yogurt, oats, optional ingredients, and salt directly in the storage container, large measuring cup, or even in a big bowl, making sure to stir thoroughly. If you are going to go the sweet route, you should also add the syrup now and not when you are going to serve the meal. Refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to hydrate. When ready to eat, take it out of the fridge and leave it to warm up a bit while you prepare the toppings.
If desired. You can add a few tablespoons of the milk you used to loosen up the mixture before adding the toppings.
Some of the toppings you could add if going the sweet route are bananas, blueberries, another type of mixed berry, honey, coconut, dates, almonds, or any of your favorite toppings. And if you wish to go down the savory route, you can serve with a soft-boiled egg and some cooked greens of your choice, or even seeds, turmeric, and cashews!
You can either make it in one big sealable container or you can mix everything in a bowl and then divide it into mason jars. Make sure to keep them in the fridge until you are ready to serve them!
