How to Make Easter M&M Overnight Oats
Step 1: Mix the oats
In a mason jar or bowl, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Stir until everything is well combined.
Step 2: Add the M&M’s
Stir in the pastel Easter M&M’s, saving a few for topping if desired.
Step 3: Refrigerate overnight
Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
The oats will soften and become creamy while the chocolate candies add a fun texture.

In the morning, stir the oats well. If they’re thicker than you like, add a splash of milk.
Top with extra M&M’s, whipped cream, or sprinkles before serving.
