Notes
Pro tip: I prefer to use quick cooking steel cut oats in this recipe as they're less chewy than regular steel cut oats.
These overnight steel cut oats are on the thicker side, so add 1/4 - 1/2 cup more liquid before serving if desired.
The Greek yogurt is completely optional but it adds a nice protein boost.
Customize the oats with your favorite toppings such as berries, nut butter, protein powder, chocolate chips, nuts or seeds.
Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days in jars for the perfect meal prep breakfast.
