Citrus-Spiced Overnight Oats are a creamy, zesty, no-cook breakfast made with rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, citrus zest, warm spices, and maple syrup. They’re refreshing, satisfying, and ready to enjoy straight from the fridge.

  • Total Time: 8 hours
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon citrus zest (orange or lemon)
  • 12 tablespoons pure maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and chia seeds.
  2. Add Greek yogurt and almond milk. Stir until well mixed and creamy.
  3. Mix in maple syrup and ground cinnamon.
  4. Zest an orange or lemon directly into the bowl, then stir to incorporate the zest evenly.

  • Add protein powder for an extra boost.
  • Top with toasted coconut, nuts, or fresh fruit for texture and variety.
