Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
- 1 cup greek or plain yogurt
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- Almond butter, for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds per jar
- Hemp seeds, to taste
Step 1: Gather and Prepare Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of old fashioned oats, 2 teaspoons of ground flaxseed, 1 cup of Greek or plain yogurt, 3 cups of milk (your choice of dairy or dairy-free), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 cups of sliced strawberries, and almond butter for topping.
Step 2: Assemble Dry Ingredients in Jars
Take about 1/4 cup of old fashioned oats and place them in each of your jars (you can use 8-ounce jars or one large container).
Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon of chia seeds to each jar for extra nutrition.
Then, add about 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed to each jar.
Optionally, you can also add a small amount of hemp seeds or other toppings of your choice.
Step 3: Add Fruits and Wet Ingredients
Now, add sliced strawberries (or your choice of fruit such as blueberries, apples, or bananas) to each jar.
Spoon 1 cup of Greek or plain yogurt into each jar.
Finally, pour milk into each jar until it reaches the rim.
Use a spoon to mix all the ingredients in each jar to ensure the oats soak up the liquid and the yogurt mixes well with the add-ins.
Step 4: Seal and Refrigerate
Seal the jars with lids to prevent spills in the refrigerator.
Place the jars in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight (a minimum of 8 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Overnight Oats
The next morning, enjoy your creamy overnight oats straight from the jar.
For an extra treat, top with a dollop of almond butter before serving.
Bon appétit!
