Ingredient notes

• Oats: either old-fashioned rolled oat or quick oats will work for overnight oats. For this recipe I like quick oats for creamier texture but if you prefer more of a “bite” and chewiness, go with rolled oats.
• Plain Yogurt: I used plain lowfat yogurt from Sonyfield but use whatever yogurt you like. Plant-based yogurt, such as coconut, oat or soy will work great for a vegan version.
• Milk: similarly to yogurt, the choice of milk is yours – any dairy of plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, coconut) can be used in this recipe.
• Chia Seeds: for some extra fiber, protein and healthy fats. I used white chia seeds but black seeds will also work.
• Maple Syrup: to sweeten the oats. You can also use honey, monkfruit, coconut sugar or sweetener of choice.
• Vanilla: use real vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for best flavor.
• Chocolate Wafers: I like to use chocolate wafers by Nabisco because they’re a bit less processed than Oreos. Most grocery stores carry them, at least in my area. If you prefer, you can use 2 crushed Oreo cookies instead.
