Ingredients
For the Oats:
- ½ cup 45g old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅔ cup 160ml milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- ¼ cup 60g Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

- 1 tsp sprinkles plus extra for topping
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:

Instructions
Mix the Base
- In a mason jar or bowl, I combine ½ cup oats, ⅔ cup milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp honey, ½ tsp vanilla, and a pinch of salt. I stir until smooth, then gently fold in 1 tsp sprinkles to keep colors vibrant for this celebration oat breakfast.
Chill Overnight
- I cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to soften the oats and blend flavors for this party-inspired oats.
Add Toppings and Serve
- In the morning, I stir the oats, adding a splash of milk if needed. I top with extra sprinkles, a dollop of whipped cream, or nuts for a festive Birthday Cake Overnight Oats, served cold or warmed for 30–45 seconds.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture.
- Avoid overloading with sprinkles — they can dissolve overnight.
- Stir well after chilling if liquid separates.
- Keep refrigerated up to 4 days or freeze in portions for up to 1 month.
