A quick, healthy, and no-cook breakfast recipe featuring creamy overnight oats soaked with fresh berries, chia seeds, and a touch of sweetness. Perfect for busy mornings and easily customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (use dairy-free yogurt if needed)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of cinnamon
  • Optional toppings: nuts (almonds, walnuts), seeds (pumpkin, sunflower), or a dollop of nut butter

Instructions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds in a jar or container.
  2. Add 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. Stir gently to combine and break up any clumps.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, and 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Top with 1/2 cup fresh berries.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Optionally add more fresh berries, nuts, or nut butter. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Adjust sweetness in the morning if needed. If berries release too much juice overnight, stir gently to mix. Seal jars tightly to avoid dryness. Can prepare multiple jars at once for convenience. For vegan option, swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and use plant-based milk.
