Just a few minutes of prep time the night before, and you’ll wake up to a ready-made breakfast that’s packed with flavor and nutrition.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Additional strawberries or nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine the Ingredients: In a mason jar or a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Add the Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. During this time, the oats will absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with additional strawberries, nuts, or other toppings of your choice.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your Strawberry Overnight Oats cold, straight from the jar or bowl. They can also be taken on the go for a quick and easy breakfast.
Strawberry Overnight Oats are a flavorful and convenient breakfast option that’s perfect for busy mornings. Packed with fiber, protein, and the natural sweetness of strawberries, this make-ahead meal will keep you energized and satisfied throughout the day.
