Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey or to taste
1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries is ideal)
Optional toppings: sliced almonds, shredded coconut, fresh mint leaves

Equipment

Medium-sized jar or container with a lid

Method

In a medium-sized jar or container with a lid, add the 1/2 cup of rolled oats and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Stir them together to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the oats. This helps create a thicker, more pudding-like consistency.
1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats), 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Pour in 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or honey). If you prefer a sweeter oats, feel free to add a little more sweetener at this stage. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and there are no clumps of yogurt.

Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of mixed berries. If you're using frozen berries, they will thaw overnight and release their juices, adding extra flavor and color. If using fresh berries, you can give them a light mash with a fork before adding if you want more berry flavor infused throughout.

Secure the lid tightly on your jar or container. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This chilling period is crucial for the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, and for the flavors to meld beautifully.
In the morning, give your Overnight Oats Mixed Berries a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve cold, directly from the refrigerator.
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
Garnish with your favorite toppings! A sprinkle of sliced almonds for crunch, shredded coconut for tropical sweetness, or a few fresh mint leaves for a burst of freshness are all wonderful choices. Feel free to add a few extra fresh berries for visual appeal and an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

Overnight oats are best stored in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator and will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. It is generally not recommended to freeze overnight oats due to texture changes.
