Print Recipe

A bright and refreshing twist on classic overnight oats, this lemon chia version is creamy, zesty, and naturally sweet. Packed with fiber and healthy fats, it makes for a perfect summer breakfast or snack, topped with crunchy granola and fresh lemon zest.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Granola, for topping
  • Lemon slices and edible flowers, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  2. Stir well to combine, ensuring chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
  4. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
  5. Divide into serving glasses or jars, and top with granola, a lemon slice, and edible flowers if desired.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy your citrusy boost!

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness to your preference with more or less maple syrup.
