Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey or honey sticks
Instructions
Making these honey overnight oats is as simple as 1, 2, 3! Start with a small mixing bowl or cereal bowl. In the bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt and milk until the ingredients are evenly combined. Once the mixture reaches a smooth consistency, add in the rolled oats and honey and continue mixing. At this point, your overnight oats are almost done! To finish up this breakfast, the oats will need to sit in the fridge in a concealed container for about 8 hours to absorb all the flavors. To do so, you can either saran wrap the top of the bowl, or transport the oats over to a container with a lid, like a mason jar or Tupperware. Finally, your oats are done! Store them in the fridge overnight and as soon as you wake up in the morning, your breakfast will be ready to serve immediately.
This recipe is delicious all on its own, but if you’d like, you can also mix in all your favorite toppings for a bite that’s truly personalized to your tastes. Need some culinary inspiration?
