Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats preferably old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar adds sweetness and richness
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon for flavor and aroma
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for depth of flavor
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek-style plant-based yogurt for adding swirl before serving

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or Spatula

Method
 

  1. Measure out the rolled oats into a mixing bowl.
  2. Pour the plant-based milk over the oats, combining well.
  3. Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mixture.
  4. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture appears slightly creamy.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a jar or container with a lid, filling it about three-quarters full.
  6. Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight, allowing the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
