Creamy Vanilla Overnight Oats
- Add the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla and salt to a pint jar or container.
- Stir well, scraping the bottom so no dry oats hide there. Cover tightly.
- Refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours, so the oats soften and thicken.
- In the morning, stir and loosen with a splash of milk if it's too thick. Add your toppings and eat cold, or microwave 1 to 2 minutes if you prefer it warm.
