Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/3 cups plain Greek yogurt (2, 5.3 ounce containers)
- 1 & 1/3 cups milk (see note)
- 1 & 1/3 cups regular rolled oats (see note)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/3 cup apricot jam
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, oats, chia seeds, and jam. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide mixture between 4 half-pint (8 ounce) mason jars with lids. Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
- To serve, enjoy right from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle with some sliced almonds.
Notes
You need regular rolled oats - instant oats break down too much and steel cut won't soften up enough. I use 2% milk, but whole milk, skim milk, or even almond milk will all work fine. If you don't like apricot jam, use a different flavor. Honey, agave, or pure maple syrup work too. But don't skip the sweetener or the oats will be bland.
