    Ingredients in strawberries and cream overnight oats

    • Oats: In particular, overnight oats are always made with rolled oats. Since they are steamed and flattened, they’re perfect for soaking. Do not use steel cut or instant oats.
    • Milk: Use any type of milk, whether it’s non-dairy or dairy. I typically use unsweetened oat milk or almond milk.
    • Yogurt: Yogurt is essential for this recipe because it creates the strawberries and cream flavor. You can use any non-dairy yogurt or dairy yogurt.
    • Strawberries: Diced strawberries add fruity flavor, extra fiber, and antioxidants.
    • Maple syrup: In order to keep them refined sugar-free, we’ll naturally sweeten the oats with real maple syrup. You can also use honey, agave nectar, or no sugar at all.
    • Chia seeds: These seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. Since they expand while soaking, they give the oats a creamy consistency.
    • Vanilla extract: Add a dash for a rich, sweet vanilla flavor.
    • Salt: A pinch of salt enhances all of the other ingredients.

    How to make overnight oats with strawberries and yogurt

    For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

    First, add rolled oats, milk, vanilla yogurt, strawberries, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt to a jar. Mix the ingredients together, then seal with a lid.

    Next, store the oats in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours.

    The next morning (or whenever you are ready to eat), remove the lid and stir the oats. If desired, add a splash of non-dairy milk to thin the consistency.

    Enjoy the oats directly out of the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Add any toppings of your choosing, like strawberries, granola, and nut butter. Enjoy!

    Recipe variations for strawberry overnight oats

    These fruity overnight oats are easily customizable. Feel free to stir in additional ingredients from the list below.

    • Protein powder: Stir in a scoop of protein powder to make them high protein overnight oats. I recommend using a vanilla or chocolate flavor.
    • Nut butter: Make them even more satiating and add a boost of healthy fats. Try adding in a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter. If you need a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead.
    • Cocoa powder: Transform them into chocolate strawberry oats! Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or cacao powder. It will taste like a chocolate covered strawberry.
    • Chocolate chips: Similarly to the idea above, you can add a spoonful of chocolate chips. I prefer using stevia-sweetened chocolate chips for a sugar-free option.

    Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

    Are overnight oats good for weight loss? Yes, they could be included in a healthy weight loss diet. Since oats are low calorie and high fiber, they may help you feel full and satiated for hours.

    Is overnight oats better with milk or yogurt? Both! I suggest using milk and yogurt every time you make this type of oatmeal. They help create a super creamy texture.

    Why aren’t my overnight oats creamy? If your recipe does not turn out creamy enough for your liking, add extra yogurt, chia seeds, or a spoonful of nut butter. Additionally, you can soak the oats longer in order to absorb more liquid.

    When to add fruit to overnight oats? Fruit can be added along with all of the other ingredients. When you are ready to eat the oats, you can add extra fresh fruit on top.

    How to store strawberry overnight oatmeal

    These strawberries and cream overnight oats are best enjoyed within 24 hours. However, you can keep them stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Be sure they are tightly sealed in a jar with a lid.
