reamy strawberries and cream overnight oats are smooth and delicious with vibrant sweet strawberries.
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup soy or oat milk sweetened if prefer sweeter flavor
- ¼ cup vanilla plant-based greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 3-4 medium strawberries diced
Instructions
-
In a glass jar or cup, add in old fashioned oats, plant milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Give it a good stir.
-
Mix in your diced strawberries.
-
Cover and let sit for at least 4 hours or overnight. If they are still a little chewy after 4 hours, let them set for longer. The longer they sit, the creamier they get! Give it a stir before enjoying.
Notes
Tips:
- Sweeten it up: If you like your oats on the sweeter side, add more natural sweetener such maple syrup or agave nectar. Alternatively, you can use a sugar substitute or mashed banana for a healthier option.
- Add extra toppings: Consider adding sliced almonds, hemp seeds, flaxseeds, or shredded coconut for added crunch and nutrition.
FAQ:
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, you can substitute with frozen strawberries but I recommend defrosting and draining them before adding to your overnight oats (or else they will become soggy).
Can I heat up the overnight oats in the morning?
Yes, if you prefer warm oats, you can heat them in the microwave or on the stovetop. Just be aware that the texture may change slightly, becoming softer and creamier.
Can I make a larger batch of overnight oats?
Absolutely! You can easily scale up the recipe to make a larger batch. I recommend adding an extra 1-2 tablespoon of milk to the batch.
