Ingredients

  • 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 1 cup of milk dairy or non-dairy
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt optional, for extra creaminess
  • 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds optional
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice optional
  • Toppings: fruits nuts, seeds, cinnamon, or other preferred garnishes

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, container or mason jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, and Greek yogurt (if using). If you want a thicker consistency, add chia seeds as well. Mix well.
  • Add honey or your preferred sweetener and mix until evenly distributed.
  • Cover your bowl, container, or mason jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oatmeal porridge mixture to rest and absorb liquid for at least 6-8 hours, preferably overnight.
  • In the morning, remove the oatmeal porridge from the refrigerator. Give it a good stir and, if needed, add a splash of milk to loosen the mixture.
  • Your overnight oatmeal porridge is now ready to be enjoyed either cold or at room temperature. If you prefer, you could also briefly warm it up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Top it off with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
