Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats Recipe

Introduction

Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats make a delicious and convenient breakfast that’s ready when you are. This creamy, fruity mixture combines oats, Greek yogurt, and fresh strawberries for a wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup water if mixture is very thick
• 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
• Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a pint-sized mason jar or bowl, combine the oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and diced strawberries. If using, add the vanilla protein powder.
2. Step 2: Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly. If the mixture seems too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Step 3: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
4. Step 4: In the morning, give the oats a good stir, add any extra toppings if you like, and enjoy a quick, creamy breakfast.

Tips & Variations

• Use any flavor of Greek yogurt to change the taste, such as vanilla or plain with added honey.
• For extra texture, top with sliced almonds or granola before serving.
• Swap diced strawberries for other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
• If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, drizzle a little maple syrup or honey on top.

Storage

Store the overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before eating, and enjoy cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if you prefer it less chilled.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?

While quick oats can work, old-fashioned oats provide a better texture and hold up well overnight without becoming too mushy.

Is it necessary to use chia seeds?

Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add extra nutrition, but you can omit them if you don’t have any; just expect a slightly thinner consistency.

Notes

• Use fresh or frozen strawberries according to availability and preference; frozen fruit will soften and release juice overnight adding extra flavor.
• The consistency can be adjusted by adding more milk or a splash of water if the oats absorb too much liquid.
• For added sweetness, consider a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, but the strawberry yogurt usually adds enough natural sweetness.
• This recipe can be made vegan by using plant-based milk and dairy-free yogurt alternatives.
• Overnight oats keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prepping.
