Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined, ensuring no dry oats remain visible.
  2. Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak for at least 2 hours, but overnight is ideal for optimal creaminess.
  3. When ready to serve, stir the mixture to ensure even distribution, then add desired toppings like mashed banana or chopped walnuts.
  4. Scoop your overnight oats into bowls or enjoy directly from the jar. You can eat them cold or heat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds if you prefer warmth.
