  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced (plus more for topping)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Step 2: Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla powder to the container. Stir all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
  4. Step 4: Cover the jar or container tightly with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
  5. Step 5: The next morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash more milk until desired creaminess is achieved.
  6. Step 6: Serve chilled, optionally topped with extra fresh strawberries, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Keep your scrumptious overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, ensuring a quick and healthy breakfast option all week long.
  • These strawberries and cream oats are designed to be enjoyed cold, offering a refreshing and creamy breakfast experience; reheating is not recommended as it can compromise the fresh fruit and texture.
  • For an extra delightful treat, consider topping your chilled oats with a sprinkle of toasted granola or a few slivered almonds to add a lovely crunch and textural contrast.
  • The small pinch of salt in this recipe isn't just for flavor balance; it actually brightens and enhances the sweetness of the maple syrup and strawberries, so don't leave it out!
