- 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt or regular yogurt (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp cashew butter
- 1–2 tbsp chocolate chips

Instructions
- Add rolled oats, milk, yogurt (optional), cashew butter, chocolate chips, brown sugar, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a jar. Mix ingredients together, then seal with a lid.
- Store oats in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- The next morning (or whenever you are ready to eat), remove the lid and stir the oats. If desired, add a splash of milk to thin the consistency.
- Enjoy the oats directly out of the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Add any toppings of your choosing, like chocolate chips, cacao nibs, and nut butter. Enjoy!
Notes
- How to store: Overnight oats are best enjoyed within 24 hours. However, you can keep them stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Be sure they are tightly sealed with a lid.
- Chocolate chips: For a healthy option, I recommend using stevia-sweetened chocolate chips which are lower in calories and sugar-free.
- Toppings: Serve with any of your favorite toppings. Read the blog post for the best topping recommendations.
