Method
- In a 12-ounce or larger jar, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir well.
- Fold in the diced strawberries, then secure the lid on the jar and place it in the fridge to chill overnight. If you plan on eating sooner, 1 to 2 hours should be sufficient to soften the oats.
- When you're ready to eat, grab the jar from the fridge and remove the lid. The oats will be significantly thicker, so add a splash of milk if you'd like to loosen the texture. Enjoy it right away with any extra toppings you love.
Notes
- Tip 1: You can prepare overnight oats up to 4 days in advance, but the strawberries may lose some flavor by day 4.
- Tip 2: If you want to eat this immediately, try making it with quick cooking oats instead. You can enjoy it just like cold cereal in just minutes!
- Tip 3: If you need a gluten-free recipe, make sure you buy certified gluten-free oats.
- Tip 4: Make it Vegan: Swap the Greek yogurt and milk for your favorite non-dairy options.
- Tip 5: If you don’t want to use yogurt at all, you can replace it with an extra 1/4 cup of milk.
