Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for thickness and fiber)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess and protein)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (plus more for topping)

Salted Caramel

  • 1½–2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Optional Toppings

  • Extra caramel drizzle
  • Sliced banana or apple
  • Chopped nuts (pecans or almonds work well)
  • Crushed graham crackers or granola
  • Coconut whipped cream for dessert vibes

Instructions

  1. Mix Base Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, stir together oats, chia seeds, milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of flaky sea salt until well combined.
  2. Add the Caramel: Spoon in the salted caramel sauce and gently swirl it through the oat mixture. Be careful not to overmix, so you maintain ribbons of caramel throughout for a delicious texture and flavor contrast.
  3. Chill Overnight: Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or an airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  4. Top and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. Add extra caramel drizzle, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, your choice of sliced fruit, nuts, crushed graham crackers or granola, and a dollop of coconut whipped cream if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

  • Chia seeds are optional but recommended for added fiber and a thicker texture.
  • You can use any type of milk, including almond, oat, soy, or cow’s milk, depending on your preference.
  • The Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but can be omitted or replaced for a vegan version.
  • Adjust the amount of salted caramel to taste, but avoid adding too much to keep the sugar content balanced.
  • Make sure to use flaky sea salt for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for easy meal prep.
  • For a complete vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and milk, and check that your caramel sauce is vegan-friendly.
