½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
⅔ cup milk, homemade oat milk, almond milk, water or coconut milk (coconut milk tends to over-thicken the oats so I recommend a 50/50 mix of coconut milk and water)
¼ cup yogurt (We use this dairy-free coconut yogurt and love it, but Greek yogurt is also a good option that makes it super creamy)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1-2 tbsp liquid sweetener (maple syrup or honey - a small amount of stevia or monk fruit could be substituted)
¼ tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Add oats, chia seeds, and salt to a jar. Stir to mix.
Next, add in the yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, and milk. Stir, then cover the jar with a lid.
Place the jar in the fridge for at least 6 hours. If you're adding spices or flavored extracts, stir them into the milk before pouring.
The next morning, add desired mix-ins, then serve.

Calculations are based on dairy milk, maple syrup as a sweetener. Salt is not factored into the estimate.
