Strawberry Overnight Oats
Strawberry Overnight Oats are a healthy make-ahead breakfast made with fresh strawberries, rolled oats, chia seeds, and milk.
Ingredients
For the Overnight Oats
- 250 g 8.8 oz fresh strawberries
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ¾ cup 180 ml almond milk or oat milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup 80 g old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Optional Toppings
- Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- Fresh sliced strawberries
- Extra maple syrup
- Chopped almonds
- Granola
- Hemp seeds
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries.
- Add the strawberries to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the strawberry puree into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and lemon zest.
- Stir everything until well combined.
- Divide the mixture between two mason jars or containers with lids.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight so the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
- Before serving, stir the Strawberry Overnight Oats. Add a splash of milk if they are thicker than desired.
- Top with yogurt, sliced strawberries, nuts, or granola before serving.
Notes
- Old-fashioned rolled oats provide the best texture.
- Quick oats create a much softer consistency.
- Coconut milk gives a richer flavor.
- Add blueberries, raspberries, or bananas for variety.
- Lemon zest brightens the strawberry flavor without making it tart.
- For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
