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
Strawberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh 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 until well combined.
- Add Strawberries: Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries gently so they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture, adding fresh flavor and texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve: Stir the soaked oats before serving to ensure an even consistency. Divide into serving bowls or jars and top with the sliced fresh strawberries. Optionally, you can add extras like granola or nuts for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any non-dairy alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk to suit dietary preferences.
- For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add toppings like sliced almonds, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for additional flavor and texture.
