Ingredients
Scale
Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberries, sliced (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl or container, mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent base.
- Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Stir the soaked oats to combine any settled ingredients. Divide into serving bowls or jars, and top with the sliced strawberries. Optionally, add granola or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy milk with any non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Sweetener amounts can be adjusted to your preference or omitted for a less sweet taste.
- Adding chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content.
- For added crunch, sprinkle granola, nuts, or seeds before serving.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
