Ingredients

• Oats: I recommend rolled oats (also known as old-fashioned oats). Quick oats can become soggy.
• Milk: Use the milk of your preference. Dairy or non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or soy will work just fine!
• Yogurt: I like to use plain Greek yogurt for added protein without sugar, but you can swap in the yogurt of your preference.
• Chia Seeds: These both thicken the overnight oats as well add nutrition!
• Maple Syrup: Add more or less to your desired sweetness.
• Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract adds a nice flavor to these oats. You can also swap for almond extract which is my favorite!
• Salt: Balances the oats.
• Cherries: You can also use frozen cherries in this recipe. Directly sub them in and they will thaw overnight.

Variations: Top the oats with toasted sliced almonds for a crunch. Sprinkle in dark chocolate chunks for a sweet treat. Or use cherry pie filling as a cherry sauce for overnight oats and swap out the fresh cherries!

You will also need jars to store the oats.
