Instructions

5 steps

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth and no clumps of yogurt remain.

2
Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds, mixing thoroughly so the chia is evenly distributed and does not settle into clumps at the bottom.
3
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 pint-sized mason jars or airtight containers, leaving about an inch of headspace, then seal the lids tightly.
4
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia to fully hydrate into a thick, pudding-like consistency.
5
Before serving, stir each jar and loosen with a splash of milk if too thick, then top with fresh berries, sliced banana, or a spoonful of nut butter. Jars keep for up to 5 days chilled.
