Strawberry Vanilla Overnight Oats

No-cook vanilla oats with chia, Greek yogurt and fresh strawberries—ready after overnight refrigeration for an easy breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

03 - 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey

06 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

07 - Pinch of salt

→ Fruit

08 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

→ Toppings (optional)

09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional)

10 - Additional diced strawberries, as desired

11 - Drizzle of honey or maple syrup, as desired

# Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt; stir until evenly mixed.

02 - Gently fold the diced strawberries into the oat mixture so fruit is evenly distributed without crushing.

03 - Cover the bowl or secure the jar lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia to hydrate and thicken.

04 - In the morning, stir the oats; if you prefer a looser texture, add a splash of milk and mix to adjust consistency.

05 - Divide the mixture between two bowls or jars and top with sliced almonds, extra strawberries and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

It feels like a little morning gift you made for yourself in advance.
The luscious blend of strawberries and vanilla delivers both comfort and brightness without any fuss.

02 -

I once forgot to stir the mixture before chilling, which left dry oats at the bottom—mix thoroughly for best results.
Letting the oats chill at least 6 hours is key; any less and you’ll get a grainy texture rather than creamy bliss.
