📖 Instructions

1. Combine the oats and milk: In a mason jar or container with a lid, add 1/2 cup of rolled oats and 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy). Stir well to ensure the oats are fully submerged. This step is crucial for achieving that creamy texture we all adore.
2. Add yogurt (optional, but recommended): Stir in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt alternative) for an extra boost of protein and creaminess. If you're not a fan of yogurt, you can skip this step, but trust me, it elevates the texture and makes it even more satisfying.
3. Sweeten the mixture: Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (or your sweetener of choice) to add the perfect touch of sweetness. Adjust the amount to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer your breakfast.
4. Incorporate cocoa powder: Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for that rich chocolate flavor that's essential to s'mores. Make sure to stir well to avoid any clumps of cocoa powder.
5. Mix in graham cracker crumbs: Crumble 2 graham crackers (about 1/4 cup of crumbs) and mix them into the oat mixture. This adds that signature graham cracker taste and a delightful textural element.
6. Layer in marshmallows: Gently fold in 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows. Reserve a few for topping later. Be careful not to overmix, as the marshmallows can dissolve and make the mixture too sticky. I always add more marshmallows on top cause they always look really good.
7. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
8. Prepare for serving: In the morning, take the oats out of the refrigerator. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Give it a good stir to redistribute all the flavors.
9. Top with extra s'mores goodness: Sprinkle a few more graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows on top. You can also add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
10. Optional: Toast the marshmallows: For that authentic s'mores experience, you can quickly toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch or under the broiler for a few seconds until they're golden brown and slightly melted. Watch them closely to prevent burning!
11. Enjoy your s'mores sensational overnight oats: Grab a spoon and dig in! Savor each bite of this delightful and convenient breakfast that's packed with flavor and nutrition.
