Yogurt and oatmeal make a delightful, nutritious breakfast combination that's both satisfying and versatile.

Perfect for busy mornings or a quick, wholesome snack, this dish can be customized with various toppings and flavors to suit your taste.

<h3>Ingredients:</h3>

- 1 cup rolled oats

- 1 1/2 cups milk (any kind, including dairy or plant-based)

- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Fresh fruit (such as berries, bananas, or apples)

- Nuts and seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds)

- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

<h3>Directions:</h3>

<b>Prepare the Oats:</b> In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the milk. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a bit more milk or cook for a few extra minutes.

<b>Mix Yogurt:</b> Once the oats are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Stir in the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup if using), and vanilla extract until well combined. This will make the oatmeal creamy and add a touch of sweetness.
