Ingredients

1 cup steel cut oats *

Instructions

In a large bowl, add the steel cut oats, chia seeds, salt, milk, yogurt, and any flavor extracts or sweeteners (like honey) and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
If the mixture is too thick, add a little extra milk. Divide into 4 portions, add toppings, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

* I used quick cooking steel cut oats but standard steel cut oats work.

I typically add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of honey to the mixture.

TO STORE. Steel-cut overnight oats keep well for seven days in the refrigerator. Store them covered and enjoy them through the week.

TO FREEZE. Freeze single-serve portions of these oats in freezer-safe containers for up to 6 months.
