Description

Ingredients
Scale
Oats & Milk
- 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
Dairy & Flavorings
- 1/4 cup (60g) vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt with 1/4 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (only if using plain yogurt)
Fruit & Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup (75g) diced fresh strawberries
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries: Wash and dice the strawberries. Optionally, mash or blend part of them for a smoother texture to incorporate into the oats.
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or small bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, diced strawberries, vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt), sweetener such as honey or maple syrup, and chia seeds if desired.
- Stir Well: Mix thoroughly to ensure all oats are coated with the liquid and the ingredients are well combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats cold straight from the fridge, or warm them in the microwave for 30–60 seconds if preferred. Optionally, top with extra fresh strawberries, a splash of milk, or granola for added texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust sweetener amount according to your taste or omit for a naturally sweetened dish from the strawberries.
- Chia seeds add extra fiber and omega-3 but can be left out if desired.
- The oats soak overnight and do not require cooking, making this a perfect no-cook breakfast option.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and a dairy-free yogurt.
