Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mash the banana in a mixing bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
- Add milk of choice and Greek yogurt to the mashed banana and stir gently to combine.
- Stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, adjusting sweetness to taste.
- Add rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt; stir until oats are fully coated and evenly distributed.
- Fold in half of the sliced strawberries, leaving the rest to layer on top later.
- Spoon the mixture into mason jars or airtight containers and top each jar with the remaining strawberries.
- Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats if needed, add extra fresh fruit or nuts if desired, and enjoy cold or warmed for 20-30 seconds in the microwave.
Notes
Mash bananas before mixing for natural sweetness and smooth texture. Layer strawberries on top to keep them fresh and vibrant. Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats may become mushy. Adjust thickness by adding milk or oats as needed in the morning. Can be warmed briefly in microwave if preferred warm.
