Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 240g plain kefir
- 60g plain or Greek yogurt
- 25g old-fashioned rolled oats
- 25g protein rolled oats*
- 1 to 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 to 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or jar, combine the kefir, yogurt, rolled oats, protein oats, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Fold in the cacao nibs.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, stir well.
- If the oats have become thicker than you’d like, stir in a splash of kefir or milk until they reach your preferred consistency.
- Top with your favorite seasonal fruit, toasted nuts, seeds, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
Notes
- Overnight oats continue to thicken as they rest. Adjust the consistency with additional kefir or milk before serving if needed.
- Old-fashioned oats provide the best texture. Quick oats become much softer after chilling.
- Protein oats make the breakfast more filling but aren’t essential. Stir thoroughly before refrigerating to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
- The flavor improves after resting overnight as the cinnamon and maple syrup blend throughout the oats.
