No-cook vanilla oats with fresh strawberries, chia seeds and Greek yogurt, ready after overnight chilling.
# Ingredient List:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla)
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Fruit
08 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
→ Toppings (optional)
09 - Sliced almonds
10 - Additional diced strawberries
11 - Drizzle of honey or maple syrup
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; stir until evenly combined.
02 - Gently fold the diced strawberries into the oat mixture so they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
03 - Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats; if the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach the preferred consistency.
05 - Divide the mixture between two bowls or jars and top with sliced almonds, extra strawberries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
