Let's cook
Use rolled, not instant
Rolled oats hold their texture overnight. Instant oats dissolve into paste and steel-cut stay unpleasantly hard.
💡This is the only ingredient choice that really matters here.
Mix the base
Stir the oats, milk, yoghurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt together in a jar until evenly combined.
Get the ratio right
Aim for roughly equal parts oats and liquid by volume. Too little and it sets stodgy; too much and it never thickens.
Chill overnight
Seal and refrigerate at least 6 hours. The chia continues thickening for the first couple of hours.
Top in the morning
Stir, loosen with a splash of milk if needed, then add the almond butter, fruit, and nuts just before eating.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes
Keeps 4 days refrigerated, so make four jars at once. Add fruit only on the morning you eat it — berries stirred in the night before bleed and go soft.
- •Vegan: Coconut or soy yoghurt and any plant milk.
- •Higher protein: A scoop of protein powder, with an extra splash of milk to compensate.
- •Warm version: Microwave 90 seconds for something closer to porridge.
