Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit and Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, mix together the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, reserving a few pieces to use as a topping later.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Stir and Serve: In the morning, stir the oats well and add additional milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Top with the reserved strawberries and sliced almonds before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute any berries or fruits for strawberries, such as blueberries or raspberries.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.
- Overnight oats can be prepared in bulk and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
