Method

Overnight oat base

1

Combine base ingredients

In a medium bowl or a 16-20 oz jar, add 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir thoroughly until evenly combined and the chia seeds are distributed.

2

Add sweeteners

Stir in 2 teaspoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon honey into the oat mixture until dissolved. Taste and adjust honey or brown sugar to preference.

3

Refrigerate

Cover the bowl or screw on the jar lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight (8-12 hours recommended) to allow oats and chia to absorb liquids and soften.

Sweeteners & mix-ins

4

If desired, toast walnuts: place 1/4 cup walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from heat and roughly chop. Allow to cool before adding to oats.

5

Fold 3/4 of the toasted walnuts into the chilled oat mixture just before serving to keep some nuts for garnish and texture.

Fruit topping

6

Rinse and gently pat dry 1/4 cup raspberries and 1/4 cup blueberries. Spoon fresh berries on top of the oats when ready to serve, spreading evenly.

Optional garnish

7

Finish with a light drizzle of 1 teaspoon honey and sprinkle the reserved chopped walnuts over the top for extra crunch. Serve chilled.
