Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt optional
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener maple syrup, honey, agave, or sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
  • Pinch of salt

Equipment

  • Jar or container with a lid
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries. Chop about half of them into small pieces and set the rest aside for topping.
  2. In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chopped strawberries, sweetener, vanilla extract, chia seeds (if using), and salt.
  3. Stir everything together until well combined. Make sure there are no clumps of oats at the bottom.
  4. Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
  5. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, add a splash more milk. Top with the remaining strawberries (sliced or whole) and any other toppings you desire.

Notes

If your overnight oats are too thick in the morning, simply add a tablespoon or two of milk until you reach your desired consistency. If they're too runny, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or a spoonful of Greek yogurt and let them sit for another 30 minutes. Store overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. For variations, try dairy-free milk and yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, flax seeds, cinnamon, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut and pineapple.
