Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Put the oats, milk, yogurt, honey, vanilla and salt in a 500 ml (2 cup) jar, or split them between two smaller jars.

  2. 2

    Add the chia seeds and stir well, scraping the bottom so no dry oats are left there.

  3. 3

    Close the lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.

  4. 4

    Stir before eating. If the oats have set too thick, loosen them with a splash of milk.

  5. 5

    Top with the berries and nuts just before serving so the berries keep their shape and the nuts stay crunchy.

About overnight oats

Oats soaked overnight in milk with chia seeds and honey, eaten cold the next morning with no cooking involved.

What cooks argue about

The debate is over the oat-to-liquid ratio: too little and the oats stay hard by morning, too much and they turn watery instead of thick.
