Ingredients

1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free as needed)
1/3 cup plain or any favorite flavor Greek yogurt (or mashed banana, or applesauce)
1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other milk variety
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
toppings of your choice, I really love this topped with crunchy granola or cereal and fresh blueberries wait to top your oats until your ready to eat, not before refrigerating
Optional: stevia or other sweetener like honey or maple syrup to desired sweetness

Instructions

Stir all ingredients (except toppings) together in a jar or other covered dish.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least about 4 hours), so the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
When you're ready for breakfast, take oats out of the fridge, add a splash of milk and favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

To store overnight oatmeal:

Refrigerate: Keep your oats in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before serving and add more milk if needed.
Freezing: You can freeze overnight oats in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
Toppings: Add fresh toppings (like blueberries, nuts or granola) right before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.
