Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats Avoid quick or steel-cut oats
  • 1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option
  • 1 cup Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy) Almond, oat, or coconut milk are good options
For Sweetness and Texture
  • 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Reduce or swap with dark chocolate if desired
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes Opt for sweetened flakes with caution
  • 1/4 cup Slivered Almonds Chopped almonds can be used as an alternative
For Flavor
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract Using vanilla extract will alter flavor profile

Equipment

  • Mason jar or large mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mason jar or a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, nonfat Greek yogurt, and your choice of milk. The mixture should appear creamy and thick, perfect for absorbing flavor as it soaks overnight.
  2. Stir in the mini chocolate chips, unsweetened coconut flakes, and slivered almonds to enhance the flavors. Fold the ingredients together gently.
  3. Drizzle in the almond extract to give your oats that signature flavor. Ensure that the extract is evenly incorporated.
  4. Cover your mason jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to soak for at least 6 hours; overnight (12-24 hours is ideal) is best.
  5. Once chilled, check the texture of your oats. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. Serve cold or warm it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  6. Top with additional slivered almonds, granola, or fresh fruit for extra flavor and crunch.
