- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup milk of choice dairy or non-dairy
- 1 to 3 teaspoons agave or maple syrup to taste
- ½ cup fresh strawberries sliced or chopped
- ⅓ cup vanilla Greek yogurt use dairy-free yogurt for vegan
Optional add-ins
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds or ground flaxseed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup oats to a resealable jar. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1 to 3 teaspoons agave or maple syrup. Mix well so all oats are moistened.
- Layer 1/4 cup strawberries over the oats, then spoon in 1/3 cup yogurt. Top with remaining strawberries.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a looser texture. Enjoy cold or warm in 20-second microwave bursts.
Notes
- For high protein overnight oats, use Greek yogurt and add 1 tablespoon protein powder. Increase milk by 1 to 2 tablespoons if needed.
- Vegan option: use plant-based milk and dairy-free yogurt, and sweeten with maple syrup.
- Texture tip: chia seeds will thicken the oats more as they sit. Add extra milk to loosen before serving.
- Storage: keep refrigerated up to 5 days. Stir and thin with milk as desired.
- Flavor swaps: use blueberries, raspberries, or banana in place of strawberries. Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla for extra flavor.
