Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup Unsweetened Milk Substitute with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • ½ cup Rolled Oats Heaping; steel-cut oats can be used but may require more liquid and longer soaking time.
  • ⅓ cup Plain Greek Yogurt Can be replaced with a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
Thickening Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds or Ground Flaxmeal Omit if preferred, but texture may be less creamy.
Flavor Ingredients
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pure vanilla is recommended for optimal taste.
  • Pinch Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
Sweetness Ingredients
  • 0-2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup Adjust to taste; use agave nectar for a vegan option.
Creamy Indulgence Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons Natural Peanut Butter Almond butter or sunflower seed butter can be used as alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Dark cocoa can be used for a richer taste.

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ⅔ cup of your choice of milk, ½ cup of rolled oats, and ⅓ cup of plain Greek yogurt. Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxmeal, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir everything until well blended, ensuring there are no clumps, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Spoon the rich mixture into a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, ensuring you capture all the creamy goodness. Leave a little headspace at the top of the jar as the oats will expand as they soak.
  3. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This soaking time allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
  4. When you're ready to enjoy, take the jar out of the fridge. Enjoy it cold directly from the jar or warm it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
