And the best part is that this recipe is made with ingredients you likely have at home including:

• Rolled oats: The main ingredient, used to provide a hearty and nutritious base with a satisfying texture when soaked overnight.
• Milk (dairy or plant-based): Adds creaminess and moisture to the oats. It facilitates the soaking process while contributing to their overall richness.
• Greek yogurt: Adds a creamy and tangy element to the overnight oats with milk and yogurt while also providing additional protein and probiotics for added nutritional value.
• Chia seeds (optional, for added thickness): These act as a natural thickening agent when soaked. This creates a pudding-like consistency, adding an extra layer of texture to the oats.
• Maple syrup (adjust to taste): Adds natural sweetness to the oats, balances the flavors of the overnight oats with milk and yogurt without the need for refined sugars.
• Pure vanilla extract: It infuses an aromatic vanilla flavor, which elevates the overall taste of the oats.
• A pinch of salt: Enhances the flavors in the oats, and balances the sweetness for a well-rounded taste profile.
• Toppings (e.g., fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, or seeds)
