Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk, any variety (whole, 2%, almond, or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (about 75g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (about 75g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and chia seeds if using. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  2. Spoon the oat mixture evenly into two 16-ounce (500ml) mason jars or airtight containers, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  3. Layer sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of the oat mixture in each jar, keeping the berries visible for a red, white, and blue look.
  4. Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve chilled straight from the fridge. Optionally, stir gently before eating or add a splash of milk or extra honey if desired.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Adjust milk quantity to preference for creaminess. Layer berries on top to keep colors vibrant. Can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for dairy-free or vegan versions. Honey can be swapped with maple syrup for vegan option. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Add nut butter or toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor. Warm gently on stovetop if preferred warm.
