Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats
Serving size is really dependent on your preference for breakfast. It will serve 2 of my younger kids or one very hungry teenager.
Ingredients
Plain Ole' Vanilla
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (the old fashioned kind not the instant variety)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 3/4 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt, Plain
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey more or less to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
Strawberries and Cream
- 1-2 tbsp strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup fresh sliced strawberries
- 1-2 tbsp sliced almonds
- 1-2 tbsp cream or half and half
- 1 tsp honey optional
Instructions
- Make Ahead: Add all ingredients for Plain Ole' Vanilla to a jar with a lid. Mason jars work great for this. Screw on the lid and shake until combined. Store jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, as long as your dairy is in date. When you pull them out of the refrigerator the next day, they should be nice and thick. Give them a good shake to make sure everything is combined.
- Time to Eat: Pull your Vanilla Overnight Oats out of the refrigerator. Spoon in a tablespoon or two of strawberry jam and stir. Top with a big pile of sliced strawberries, sliced almonds, a drizzle of cream or half and half, and a drizzle on honey.
- Note: Chia seeds are so good for you! But if they are just not your thing, omit them and use only ½ cup of milk.
