Description
Four chilled jars of chai-spiced oats hydrated in milk and yogurt overnight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Fine salt
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp cardamom, 1/8 tsp cloves, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/8 tsp salt until evenly combined.
- Stir in 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats and 2 tbsp chia seeds. Let the mixture stand a couple of minutes, then stir again to distribute chia and spices rather than leaving clumps.
- Divide among four lidded jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate at least eight hours so the oats hydrate; the eight-hour wait is included in total time.
- Stir each chilled jar before eating. Add milk only if a measured first trial shows the texture needs adjustment; serving fruit is a separate optional idea and not in the base recipe or nutrition.
