Description

This Overnight Oats with Yogurt recipe is a simple, nutritious, and delicious breakfast option that you prepare the night before. Combining creamy vanilla yogurt with oats, honey, and optional cinnamon creates a creamy base that softens overnight. In the morning, top with fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter, or granola for added texture and flavor. Perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal that is satisfying and wholesome.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Vanilla Yogurt (or Greek Vanilla Yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (more to taste)
  • 1 cup water (or milk of your choice)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Toppings

  • ½ cup fresh fruit (such as fresh berries)
  • A handful of nuts or a few tablespoons of nut butter
  • Granola

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt, honey, and water until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Stir in the oats: Add the rolled oats and ground cinnamon (if using) to the yogurt mixture and stir thoroughly until the oats are fully incorporated.
  3. Cover and rest: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to soften.
  4. Stir: In the morning, remove the oats from the fridge and give it a quick stir to evenly redistribute the mixture.
  5. Garnish and serve: Divide the overnight oats into serving bowls or jars. Top with your favorite fresh fruit, a handful of nuts or nut butter, and granola. Add an extra drizzle of honey if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute water with any milk of your choice such as almond milk, soy milk, or cow’s milk for a creamier texture.
  • Use Greek vanilla yogurt for added protein and creaminess.
  • Customize your toppings with different fruits, seeds, or nut butters depending on your preference.
  • Make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats will become too mushy.
  • This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
