Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (or dairy milk)
- 1/3 cup non-dairy vanilla yogurt (or dairy yogurt)
- 1/2 cup diced strawberries
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, agave, etc.)
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Optional Toppings
- Strawberries
- Yogurt
- Granola
- Nut butter
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, milk, vanilla yogurt, diced strawberries, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt to a jar. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly, then seal the jar with a lid.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Store the sealed jar in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: The next morning or when you’re ready to eat, remove the lid and stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of non-dairy milk to thin it to your desired consistency.
- Serve with Toppings: Enjoy the oats directly from the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Add your choice of toppings like fresh strawberries, extra yogurt, granola, or nut butter for added texture and flavor. Dig in and enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
Notes
- You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or sweetener of choice.
- Use dairy or non-dairy milk and yogurt depending on dietary preferences or restrictions.
- Try different fruit toppings like blueberries, raspberries, or bananas to vary flavors.
- Chia seeds add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; feel free to omit if allergic.
- Overnight oats can be prepared in advance for up to 2 days, but fresh is always best.
