Instructions

Mix base. In a bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and maple syrup until smooth.
Add seeds and salt. Whisk in chia seeds if using and salt.
Add oats. Stir in rolled oats until fully combined.
Add sprinkles. Gently stir in rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed.
Portion. Divide mixture between two 8-ounce containers with lids.
Chill. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
Serve. In the morning, stir and add milk as needed to reach desired consistency. Enjoy as-is or with toppings.

Notes

Substitutions. Use rolled oats, quick-cook steel-cut oats, or steel-cut oats with minimal texture change.
Milk Options. Whole, low-fat, almond, coconut, or other preferred milk all work. Unsweetened almond milk is a good option.
Sweeteners. Honey, maple syrup, agave, or liquid low-carb sweeteners can be used.
Yogurt Choices. Plain or flavored yogurt works. Greek yogurt adds protein. Yogurt can be omitted by adding an extra ¼ cup milk.
Meal Prep. Store overnight oats in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
Texture Tip. Best texture develops after 4 to 6 hours. Eating immediately will result in chewier oats.
