A no-fuss, make-ahead breakfast combining creamy Greek yogurt, chia seeds, rolled oats, and almond butter for a nourishing and delicious start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (16g) almond butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries or sliced banana, chopped nuts or seeds, sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Combine chia seeds and Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until chia seeds are evenly dispersed with no clumps.
  2. Stir in rolled oats, ensuring they are well coated with the yogurt-chia mixture.
  3. Add almond butter and fold gently into the mix. Warm almond butter slightly if a creamier texture is desired.
  4. Pour in milk, maple syrup or honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly combined.
  5. Transfer mixture into a jar or airtight container. Seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds as desired. Serve chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer texture.

Notes

Mix chia seeds with Greek yogurt first to avoid clumps. Let oats soak at least 6 hours for best texture. Warm almond butter slightly if needed for easier mixing. Adjust milk quantity for preferred thickness. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days. Add protein powder after soaking for extra protein.
