Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup fat-free milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- Assorted fresh fruit (e.g., berries, bananas, seasonal fruits)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, fat-free milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- In the morning, remove the oatmeal from the fridge and stir in the vanilla yogurt until fully incorporated.
- Divide the oatmeal into serving bowls and top with toasted walnuts and assorted fresh fruit.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.

- For a sugar-free version, substitute maple syrup with stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
- Try sunflower or pumpkin seeds instead of nuts for a nut-free option.
