You can’t beat breakfast waiting when you open the fridge! Overnight oats with greek yogurt are a go-to option for me. You can make these with only oats and milk, but I add the greek yogurt and the chia seeds for extra protein. There are three variations of toppings I add often, so I thought I’d share them all below.
- Blueberries and bananas with cinnamon and maple syrup
- Apples and cinnamon with honey and chopped pecans
- Peanut butter with chia jam and chopped peanuts
I displayed these in what I think is a perfect-sized bowl, however a glass jar or storage container works well to keep them in the fridge overnight!

Recipe Notes
It’s important to use rolled oats which are also known as old fashioned oats. Quick oats and steel cut oats will not work here.
