Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1/2 cup Rolled Oats
1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy) Almond milk, oat milk, or regular milk all work wonderfully.
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
1-2 tablespoons Sweetener maple syrup, honey, or agave. Adjust to your preferred sweetness level. For a true birthday cake flavor, consider a simple syrup or a touch of vanilla extract.
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Birthday Cake Extract (optional, but highly recommended)
Pinch Salt

Toppings

Sprinkles (Essential for the birthday cake experience)
Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Shredded coconut
Chopped nuts
Whipped cream or coconut whip

Equipment

Medium-sized bowl or serving jar
Mason jars or portable containers (optional for individual servings)

Method

In a medium-sized bowl or directly in your serving jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir them together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
1/2 cup Rolled Oats, 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds, Pinch Salt
Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, and birthday cake extract (if using).
1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons Sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 1/4 teaspoon Birthday Cake Extract
Whisk or stir the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Make sure there are no clumps of yogurt or chia seeds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl or jar to ensure all the oats are moistened.
If you're planning to make individual servings, divide the mixture evenly into 1-2 mason jars or any portable containers. This makes them perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts.
Cover the bowl or secure the lids on your jars tightly. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the oats to soften and the chia seeds to work their magic, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency.
When you're ready to enjoy your Birthday Cake Overnight Oats Dessert, remove them from the refrigerator. Give them a quick stir. Now for the fun part – add your favorite toppings! Think colorful sprinkles, fresh berries, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, or even a small swirl of whipped cream for that extra festive touch.
