Strawberry Overnight Oats (Printer-friendly)
Creamy oats chilled overnight with fresh strawberries, chia seeds, and honey for an effortless morning meal.
# What You'll Need:
→ Oats Mixture
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
05 - 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Strawberries
08 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
→ Toppings (optional)
09 - Additional sliced strawberries
10 - Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts)
11 - Shredded coconut
# How To Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
02 - Gently fold in the diced strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the oat mixture.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar securely and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of milk and stir again until you reach your desired consistency.
05 - Divide the overnight oats into serving bowls or jars. Top with additional sliced strawberries, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut if desired. Serve chilled.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Breakfast is literally waiting for you when you wake up, no cooking required
- The oats somehow get more delicious and creamy after soaking overnight
- You can customize the toppings endlessly based on whatever you have on hand
02 -
- Your oats will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge, so double the batch and thank yourself later
- The texture gets better on day two, so don't be afraid to make these ahead
03 -
- If your strawberries aren't very sweet, add an extra half tablespoon of honey
- Stir the mixture again after a few hours in the fridge to prevent the chia from clumping at the bottom
