Make-Ahead Breakfast Bowls

Easy and customizable breakfast bowls made with oats, yogurt, and fruits, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruits (berries, banana slices, mango, pineapple, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, hemp seeds)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, drizzle of nut butter

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or mason jar, combine the rolled oats with your preferred milk. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight, allowing the oats to soak and soften.
  3. In the morning, stir in the Greek yogurt, adding a creamy texture to your bowl.
  4. Sweeten your mix with honey or maple syrup, and sprinkle in any spices you enjoy.
  5. Top with fresh or frozen fruits, along with assorted nuts and seeds for that delightful crunch.
  6. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

For creamier oats, use full-fat yogurt or a richer milk alternative. Feel free to substitute almond milk for regular milk or use dairy-free yogurt if desired.
