Ingredients
Scale
- 12 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.5 cups Greek or plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp strawberry jam
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped fresh strawberries
- Desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces. If using frozen strawberries, defrost them quickly by placing them in a bowl of boiling water for 2 minutes.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, rolled oats, milk, yogurt, strawberry jam, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
- Chill:
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve:
- When ready to eat, remove the oats from the fridge. You can enjoy them cold or heat them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
- Add your favorite toppings, such as fresh strawberries or desiccated coconut, for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of strawberry jam or add a drizzle of honey/maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- Make It Vegan: Use plant-based milk and yogurt to keep this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Meal Prep: Prepare multiple servings in individual jars for a quick grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
