Be the first to rate it
Creamy oats with Greek yogurt and chia, layered with strawberry jam and fresh berries. A single jar that keeps up to 5 days in the fridge.
Ingredients
Base (Easy Overnight Oats)
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk I like unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or ¼ cup more milk
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey or your preferred sweetener
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
- ½ teaspoon vanilla optional
- pinch of sea salt
- toppings of choice: fruit nut butter, nuts, seeds, etc.
Berry variation
- ¼ cup fresh berries I like sliced strawberries and blueberries best
- 1 Tablespoon strawberry jam or chia jam
Equipment
- airtight jar
Directions
- Put the oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and sea salt in a jar or storage container with a lid and stir together. Chill overnight. If you are in a hurry, you can cut the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- For the berry version: mix 2 Tablespoons of berries into the oat mixture as you prepare it, then add a layer of jam and the rest of the fresh berries on top.
- The next morning (or whenever you are ready to eat), take off the lid and stir the oats well. If they look too thick, loosen them with a little more milk. Add the toppings you like best and enjoy.
Notes
Covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days; best days 1 to 3, still safe days 4 and 5. Safety: no honey for babies under 1.
