Why Make This Recipe

- 5 minutes of prep is all that is needed.
- Double for a crowd or half this recipe, as needed.
- Customize with various nuts and fruit.
Ingredient Notes
- Oats – This recipe uses rolled oats for the best result. Steel cut oats will not work. If following a gluten-free diet, then make sure to use gluten-free oats.
- Milk – I use whole milk, but you can also use 2% milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
- Sweetened – a little bit of maple syrup will sweeten these. However you can also use honey, sugar, or agave. When I make it for just me, I omit the sweetener altogether.
- Yogurt – You need unsweetened greek yogurt for this, which has the advantage of adding in extra protein.
- Strawberries – use fresh strawberries, the sweeter the better.
- Vanilla extract – a little bit of extra flavor. But you can omit if you desire.
- Shredded coconut – unsweetened shredded coconut adds extra flavor and texture. Feel free to toast this before adding.
How To Make Strawberry Overnight Oats
- Mash a third of the strawberries in a bowl and then add in the yogurt, milk, and oats.
- Mix well and set in the fridge overnight.
- The mixture will be thick, but that is ok!
- Decant the mixtures into mason jars (or bowls) and top with remaining strawberries and coconut.
Strawberry Shortcake Overnight Oats Tips
- Divide before chilling – just portion into the right-sized serving amounts before refrigeration or storing so it is easy to take one and go as needed.
- If you are meal prepping, then simply double the batch and portion it out into individual bowls or mason jars.
Toping Ideas
- Blueberries.
- Almonds or cashews.
- Banana slices.
- Grated apple.
- Raisins.
Storage
- Prep ahead – Mix all the ingredients overnight, divide into servings, and then chill.
- Store – Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.
- Freeze – I don’t recommend freezing this.
FAQs
Start with equal parts oats and milk and then half as much yogurt. If your yogurt is very thick you may need to thin oats out with a little more milk. Feel free to play around with the amounts to see what works for you.
You don’t have to – Whip up a big batch in one bowl and chill. You can take what you want from the bowl as you need.
If your oats are too liquidy, you can fix by mix in a little extra oats or even chia seeds and letting these stand for 15 minutes. If oats are too thick, then mix in a little extra milk.
These are great because they can be soaked overnight. However you will not always have time for this, so you can soak then for 3-4 hours
