Ingredients

• Oats Base
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tsp honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Fruit Layer
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Toppings (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix Ingredients

In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix.

2. Add Fruit

Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.

3. Refrigerate Overnight

Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.

4. Stir and Adjust

In the morning, stir the oats. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.

5. Serve

Spoon into bowls or jars. Top with extra strawberries, nuts, and coconut flakes if desired. Serve chilled.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Make sure to use rolled oats for the perfect creamy texture. Using individual jars makes this recipe ideal for grab-and-go breakfasts. For a smoother consistency, stir well before refrigerating and adjust milk amount as needed in the morning.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives and replace honey with maple syrup. Feel free to swap strawberries for other berries or diced fruits according to your preference. Add a pinch of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
