Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, such as almond or oat milk)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added fiber)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds or granola (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries to evenly distribute them throughout the oat mixture without mashing the fruit.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine any separated ingredients. Add extra milk if you prefer a creamier or thinner consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the oats with additional fresh strawberries, sliced almonds, or granola for extra crunch and flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt to make this recipe vegan.
- Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- For sweetness, choose between honey or maple syrup based on dietary preferences.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for freshness.
- Adjust milk type and quantity to achieve your preferred creaminess.
