Ingredients
-
1/2 cup Rolled oats (old-fashioned work best)
-
1/2 cup Milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
-
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess and protein)
-
1 tbsp Chia seeds (helps thicken the texture)
-
1 tbsp Maple syrup or honey
-
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp Strawberry jam (plus extra for the topping)
-
Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
-
Combine the Base: In a glass jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
-
Add the Flavor: Stir in 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam. If you prefer a “swirled” look, gently fold it in rather than mixing completely.
-
Seal and Chill: Close the lid tightly and give the jar a good shake (or stir well with a spoon). Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is ideal to ensure the oats are perfectly soft.
-
Serve: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, splash in a little more milk.
-
Top it Off: Recreate the look in the photo by adding a generous dollop of strawberry jam on top, a sprinkle of dry oats for texture, and fresh sliced strawberries on the side.
Pro Tip: If you like a bit of crunch, wait until you are ready to eat before adding nuts, granola, or extra raw oats on top!
