Instructions
In a medium to large mixing bowl combine the vanilla yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla until smooth and the honey is fully dissolved.
Whisk in the cinnamon and salt until evenly distributed, then add the oats and stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture into 4 small 4-ounce jars, or two 8-ounce jars. Seal and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4-6 hours before serving. Top portions with berries or fruit, honey, nut butters, and/or crushed nuts and seeds.
Notes
This recipe will make about 4 4-ounce servings with maybe a little left over.
Any variety of milk will work for this recipe. Skim, whole, or your favorite non-dairy milk like almond or coconut milk.
I used blueberries to top off my overnight oats though other berries like sliced strawberries or raspberries would also be delicious!
They are called 'overnight oats' because you soak the oats overnight. If time does not allow that, the minimum you should let them soak is 4 hours.
To store: Keep overnight oats with yogurt refrigerated in an airtight jar or container for up to 5 days (as long as you used old-fashioned rolled oats and not quick oats). Be aware of the expiration date of your yogurt and milk, because if it falls within those 5 days it may spoil sooner.
