Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice (whole, 2%, almond, oat, or soy)
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), fresh or frozen, for topping
- Additional honey, nuts, or seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), honey, and vanilla extract.
- Stir well until everything is fully combined and the oats are submerged in liquid.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or containers (about 8 oz each). Layer berries at the bottom or middle if desired.
- Seal jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8–12 hours for best texture).
- In the morning, stir the oats and top each serving with mixed berries, a drizzle of honey, and nuts or seeds if desired.
- Serve chilled straight from the jar or scoop into a bowl. Enjoy!
Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version. For vegan, use plant-based milk and yogurt, and swap honey for maple syrup or agave. Chia seeds are optional but add fiber and help thicken. Add berries and crunchy toppings just before serving for best texture. Keeps up to 3 days in the fridge.
