Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup thick Greek-style yoghurt or skyr
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 12 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup thick Greek-style yoghurt or skyr
  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the almond milk, yogurt, cranberry sauce, brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Add Oats and Chia Seeds: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then mix again to prevent any chia seed lumps from forming.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
  4. Serve: Spoon the overnight oats into two serving glasses. Top each with the remaining thick Greek-style yogurt and cranberry sauce. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or substituting with honey or maple syrup.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek-style yogurt.
  • Make sure to use thick Greek-style yogurt or skyr for the best creamy texture.
  • Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to add nuts or seeds as additional toppings for texture and nutrition.
