A simple and delicious overnight oats recipe featuring brown sugar, cinnamon, and toasted almonds for a creamy, flavorful, and easy-to-prepare breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90 g)
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml) – dairy or plant-based
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120 g) – dairy or dairy-free
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (25 g) – light or dark
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup toasted almonds, roughly chopped (30 g)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the almonds: Place ¼ cup (30 g) of chopped almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine 1 cup (240 ml) milk, ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk gently until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.
  3. Add the oats: Stir in 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats. Mix well to coat oats evenly.
  4. Transfer to container: Pour mixture into a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Place in fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and absorb liquid.
  6. Serve: Stir oats gently in the morning. Adjust sweetness if desired by adding honey or maple syrup. Sprinkle toasted almonds on top before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats become mushy. Toast almonds carefully to avoid burning. Add chia seeds for thicker texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Add toasted almonds just before serving to keep crunch.
