Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Rolled oats
  • 1 Cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 Cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp Chia seeds
  • 2 Tbsp Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup Mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
  • Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, or nut butter

Equipment

  • Mason jar or airtight container: Used to mix, store, and serve the oats. Ideal for grab-and-go mornings and keeping your oats fresh.
  • Measuring cups and spoons: Ensures the correct ratios of oats, milk, chia seeds, and sweeteners for consistent results.
  • Mixing spoon or silicone spatula: Helps blend the ingredients smoothly without sticking or clumping.
  • Small bowl (optional): Useful for pre-mashing berries or mixing wet ingredients before combining.
  • Refrigerator: Essential for chilling the oats overnight and allowing them to absorb liquid and flavors.

Method
 

  1. Combine the Base Ingredients:
    In a medium-sized bowl or a jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Mix and Match:
    Gently fold in half of the fresh berries. This allows some of the berry flavors to infuse the oats overnight. The rest of the berries will be used as a topping in the morning.
  3. Refrigerate:
    Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit overnight, or at least for 4 hours. This gives the oats time to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Morning Magic:
    In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Top It Off:
    Add the remaining fresh berries on top. You can also sprinkle your favorite toppings like nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of nut butter for added texture and flavor.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Your overnight oats with fresh berries are ready to enjoy! You can eat them straight from the bowl or jar, or transfer them to a serving dish if you prefer.
