Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, bourbon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- If using Greek yogurt, fold it into the oat mixture until fully incorporated.
- Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers, sealing them tightly.
- Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir, and top with fresh fruits or nuts as desired before serving.
Notes
Tip: For a non-alcoholic version, replace bourbon with extra milk and a touch more vanilla extract.
For a healthier option, you can substitute the bourbon with a splash of vanilla extract if preferred. Additionally, feel free to top your oats with your favorite fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days, making them an excellent choice for meal prep. Just grab a jar in the morning and enjoy!
