Ingredients
Scale
Overnight 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
Fruit
- 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 until well combined.
- Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the overnight oats to mix any settled ingredients. Divide into serving bowls or jars and top with the sliced strawberries. You can also add optional toppings like granola or nuts if desired for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use any milk of choice, including almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to your taste preference.
- Chia seeds add thickness and nutritional value but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them great for meal prep.
- For added crunch, sprinkle nuts or granola just before serving.
