5.3ozplain Greek yogurt*you can also use Oikos Pro vanilla Greek yogurt with 20 grams of protein for an added boost

¼teaspoonvanilla extract
1tablespoongolden raisins
1tablespoonraw walnuts

Instructions

I love to use Mason jars, they are cute and are the perfect size for this recipe
Optional: top with a little whipped cream cheese or whipped cream, a drizzle of real maple syrup, and a few walnuts before serving.
Notes
*You can adjust the sweetness of the oats to your taste preference by adding more sugar-free or regular maple syrup. You can also use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain for the base. I love the Oikos Pro yogurt for an added boost.*For protein oats without Greek yogurt, mix a scoop of your favorite protein powder with ¾- 1 cup of milk (regular or nut milk) in a shaker with 1-2 teaspoon of chia seeds and add to the oats with the remaining ingredients. *Chia seeds are great for an extra fiber and nutrition boost. You can also add a teaspoon of chia seeds to the Greek yogurt recipe version.
