• For a sweeter version, increase the maple syrup or add a drizzle of honey before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, regular yogurt works fine, but Greek yogurt gives a thicker and creamier texture with extra protein.

Can I prepare this breakfast without chia seeds?

Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutrition, but you can omit them if you prefer. The texture may be slightly less thick.

• Prepare the oats the night before to ensure proper soaking and texture.
• Crushed graham crackers add a nice crunch but can be omitted for gluten-free diets.
