Ingredients

2 vanilla wafers
½ cup rolled oats
⅓ cup milk of choice
½ cup Greek yogurt, divided (save some for topping) plain or vanilla, non-fat, low-fat, or full-fat
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon strawberry jam
1 tablespoon white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon sprinkles (jimmies) + more for topping

Instructions

In a small bowl or mason jar, crush the vanilla wafers with a wooden spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients, using ⅓ cup of the yogurt. Stir well.
Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. The next day, top with the rest of the yogurt (about 2 ½ tablespoons) and more sprinkles.

Notes

- Thin or thicken as needed: If the oats are too thick the next morning, add a little more milk. If they're too runny, stir in more yogurt or drain off the liquid.
- Use rolled oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats are perfect for overnight oats. For a chewier texture, try quick-cooking steel-cut oats.
- Adjust sweetness: Sweeten to your taste by using more or less jam. Or skip it.
- Chia seeds: As an option, add one tablespoon chia seeds with the oats and increase milk to ½ cup and the stirred-in yogurt to ½ cup. You may need to add more milk the next day.
