Description: Overnight oats are a convenient and nutritious breakfast option that you can prepare the night before. They are made by soaking oats in liquid overnight, which softens them and creates a creamy, flavorful dish. You can customize overnight oats with various toppings and mix-ins to suit your taste preferences.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions:

- Seal the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
