Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats (use GF if needed)
  • 1 cup plant milk (I like soy)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (if vegan, use plant-based yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup or honey if not vegan
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • A pinch of salt
  • A small pinch of black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl or a large mason jar.
    1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup plant milk, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, 2 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, A pinch of salt, A small pinch of black pepper, ½ teaspoon ground turmeric, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • Cover with a lid and place in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  • Before serving, taste and adjust the flavor if needed- add more honey/maple syrup for sweetness or lemon juice/zest for tanginess.
  • Serve as is or top with fresh fruits.

Notes

Storage
  • Fridge: Transfer to an airtight container or a mason jar, and store in the fridge for 4-5 days. 
  • Freezer: I haven't tried freezing overnight oats, but I think it will work. Let thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
If you don't have yogurt or prefer to make this recipe without it, substitute it with the same amount of milk.
 
To make this recipe vegan, we recommend using unsweetened plant-based yogurts such as soy or coconut.
 
If you like your oats warm, you can always heat them on a stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
