Berry Blast Overnight Oats

Berry Blast Overnight Oats

Ingredients

  • Base: 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned), 2/3 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk, and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt.

  • Sweetener & Spice: 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

  • Mix-ins: 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness).

  • Toppings: Fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, and a handful of crunchy granola.


Instructions

  1. The Base Mix: In a small bowl or directly in your glass jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and your choice of sweetener. Stir well until the yogurt is fully incorporated and there are no dry clumps of oats.

  2. The Soak: Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is best. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid, resulting in a creamy, pudding-like consistency.

  3. Layering for Presentation: To get the look in the photo, take your chilled oats and create layers. Start with a layer of oats at the bottom, add a thick middle layer of fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries, and then top with the remaining oat mixture.

  4. Final Flourish: Right before serving, add a fresh pile of berries on top and sprinkle with granola. Adding the granola at the last minute ensures it stays crunchy rather than getting soft in the fridge.


Quick Tips

  • Texture: if the oats are too thick in the morning, splash in a little extra milk.

  • Berry Freshness: If using frozen berries, mix them in before refrigerating; they will release their juices and naturally dye the oats a beautiful purple or pink hue.

Enjoy your healthy and refreshing start to the day!
