FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, regular yogurt works fine, but Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess and protein to the oats. You may want to adjust the consistency with more milk if using regular yogurt.

Can I prepare this without chia seeds?

Yes, you can omit chia seeds, but they help thicken the oats and add fiber. Without them, the oats may be a bit less creamy and thick.

• Maple syrup can be replaced with honey, agave syrup, or other liquid sweeteners according to taste and dietary needs.
• For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and ensure the maple syrup is used as the sweetener.
• The crushed graham cracker topping adds a nice crunch and pie-like texture but can be omitted for a gluten-free option by using gluten-free crackers.
• Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prepping.
