Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 to 1.5 cups oat milk or milk of choice*
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional Additions:
- 3 Tbsp protein powder
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds or ground flax seed
- 1 to 2 Tbsp nut butter of choice
Instructions
- Add all of the dry ingredients to a high-powered blender (oats, cinnamon, sea salt, chia seeds, and protein powder, if adding).
- Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract (and nut butter if adding) and secure the lid on the blender. Blend on a high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until it appears as though everything is well blended.
- Pour the blended oat mixture into two or three small glass jars (depending on your desired portion size) and seal them with their lids. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight. Or, store in one big mason jar.
- When you’re ready to enjoy your breakfast, give the oats a big stir, then top with your choice of toppings. I like adding fresh fruit, especially fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, some chopped nuts or seeds, and sometimes a drizzle of nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter, or Nuttzo.
