Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 4-5 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, if berries are tart)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine chopped strawberries, sliced basil, and optional maple syrup. Mash gently with a fork until juicy.
- In a 12-ounce jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until completely smooth and no dry pockets remain.
- Spoon the strawberry-basil mash over the oat mixture. You can swirl it in slightly or leave it layered.
- Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until thick and creamy.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and yogurt. To make high-protein oats, add a scoop of protein powder with the dry oats. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
