A quick, easy, and colorful overnight oats recipe layered with fresh berries and chia seeds for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) fresh raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the base: In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats and chia seeds. Pour in milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix evenly. This takes about 3 minutes.
  2. Layer the berries: Spoon a few sliced strawberries (about 1/8 cup) into the bottom of a jar or container. Add half of the oat mixture, then sprinkle a few blueberries on top. Add the rest of the oats, then finish with the remaining berries. This step takes around 5 minutes.
  3. Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jar or container tightly and place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats and chia seeds will soak up the liquid and soften, developing a creamy texture. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats get mushy and steel-cut oats won’t soften enough. Layer berries to keep them fresh and prevent mushiness. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or chia seeds as needed. Can be made vegan by swapping dairy milk and yogurt for plant-based alternatives. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge up to 3 days.
