A quick and easy protein-packed overnight oats recipe featuring creamy Greek yogurt and a nutty almond butter swirl, perfect for a satisfying and energizing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk (any kind, almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) creamy almond butter (natural, no added sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh fruit or berries for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats, chia seeds, and salt in a jar or container. Stir briefly to mix.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and milk. Whisk or stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir gently to incorporate.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Before serving, swirl in the almond butter without fully mixing to keep the swirl visible.
  6. Add fresh fruit or berries on top if desired.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. For vegan or dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. Warm almond butter slightly if too thick to swirl easily. Add extra milk if you prefer thinner oats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
