Ingredients
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Nutella
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup milk of choice
- ½ cup oats
Optional
- ½ tablespoon cocoa powder
- ½ - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
- toppings: more yogurt, toasted nuts, chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small bowl or mason jar, stir the yogurt and Nutella together until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, milk, and oats. If you like your oats sweeter, add a little maple syrup or honey. Cover and refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight.
- The next day, stir the oats and add more milk or yogurt if needed. Serve with fresh berries, toasted almonds, and mini chocolate chips.
- For even more chocolatey flavor, stir in ½ tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Sweeten as needed with maple syrup or honey.
Notes
- Adjust consistency: Thin with milk or thicken with yogurt or 2 tablespoon oats (let absorb).
- Best oats: Rolled or quick-cooking steel-cut. Avoid quick or instant—they get mushy.
- Sweeten: Maple syrup or honey, especially with cocoa powder.
- Chia seeds: Add 1 tablespoon + increase milk and yogurt to ½ cup each.
- Protein boost: Mix in protein powder, adjusting liquid as needed.
- Toppings: Keep fruit and nuts separate until serving.
