Scale
Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
Binding and Sweetening Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate rolled oats, chia seeds, and a subtle salt sprinkle, ensuring uniform distribution through gentle stirring.
- Craft a silky liquid base by vigorously whisking milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until completely integrated and smooth.
- Gradually cascade the liquid mixture into dry ingredients, thoroughly blending until no powdery residue remains, creating a consistent texture.
- Delicately incorporate diced strawberries, folding gently to preserve fruit integrity and ensure even dispersion throughout the mixture.
- Portion the concoction into two sealed containers, ensuring each receives equal distribution of ingredients.
- Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing ingredients to meld and oats to soften completely.
- Upon serving, stir contents and adjust consistency by introducing additional milk if needed, creating desired creaminess.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, complementary yogurt dollop, or optional honey drizzle to enhance visual appeal and flavor profile.
- Serve chilled and savor the harmonious blend of creamy oats and vibrant strawberry essence.
Notes
- Customize milk options by using almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free variations that match personal dietary needs.
- Swap Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt alternatives like coconut or cashew yogurt to make the recipe completely vegan-friendly.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of maple syrup for a lower-calorie breakfast option.
- Enhance protein levels by adding a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder during the wet mixture preparation for extra nutritional boost.
