Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk of choice, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and sweetener (honey or maple syrup). Stir well to ensure the oats are evenly coated and the chia seeds are distributed. - Add Your Flavor Variation
Pick a flavor profile, then add the ingredients for that variation to the oat mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. - Refrigerate Overnight
Transfer the oat mixture to jars or airtight containers. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors. - Top and Serve
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add fresh toppings if desired (berries, nuts, or extra fruit), and enjoy your globally inspired breakfast!
