A quick and easy overnight oats recipe featuring fresh strawberries and blueberries, Greek yogurt, and a touch of honey for a creamy, refreshing breakfast perfect for summer mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using), a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in 1 cup milk, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the oats are fully coated and the mixture looks creamy.
  3. Transfer to jars: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into 2 mason jars or airtight containers. Seal the lids tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. Add fresh berries: When ready to serve, top each jar with ¼ cup sliced strawberries and ¼ cup blueberries. Optionally mix some berries into the oats.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Eat cold straight from the jar or let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes if preferred less chilled.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; chia seeds help thicken the oats; adjust sweetness to taste; fresh berries can be swapped with frozen (thawed); for vegan/dairy-free, use coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based milk; oats keep well up to 3 days refrigerated; add fresh berries just before serving to avoid sogginess; microwave for 30-45 seconds if warm oats preferred.
