All About these Overnight Oats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nEver since I developed my popular Peaches & Cream Overnight Oatmeal<\/a>, I cracked the code on making delicious, creamy, nutrition-packed oats. But don’t be intimidated – it doesn’t include hard to find ingredients, complicated recipe steps you don’t have time for, or expensive protein powders (unless you want it to).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These strawberry oats require 3 key elements – homemade strawberry milk, your favorite rolled oats, and fibrous chia seeds. Once strawberry season hits this Spring, you’ll be craving a big batch of cold, strawberry overnight oats every week.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

What You Need for Strawberry Overnight Oats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You’ll need just 7 basic ingredients to making the best strawberry-flavored oats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ingredients$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
Oats: <\/strong>I recommend using either old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats. Steer clear of steel cut oats – save those for making my Instant Pot Steel Cut Oatmeal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Strawberries: <\/strong>We’re not only folding chopped berries into our oats, but we’re also blending them into a homemade strawberry milk to soak the oats in for the ultimate flavor. Feel free to use fresh or frozen – whatever you have access to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Plant milk: <\/strong>Really any plant-based milk of choice will do, but the thicker, creamier plant milks will yield the creamiest oats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Non-dairy yogurt: <\/strong>The secret to the best creamy, tangy flavor. Just like the plant milk, your favorite yogurt of choice will work so use your favorite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Chia seeds: <\/strong>A source of healthy fats that also helps thicken the oats into a delicious, thick consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pure maple syrup: <\/strong>My favorite liquid sweetener in oatmeal. It’s sweet & earthy and a versatile unrefined sugar I always have in the pantry. If you have another favorite, such as agave nectar or date syrup, feel free to swap it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Vanilla: <\/strong>The sweet, floral flavor is a must<\/em> in my oats and takes the flavor from good to great.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nHow to Make Strawberry Overnight Oats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
$\"side-by-side$ <\/figure>\n\n\n
\n\n
\n
Make <\/strong>the strawberry milk by blending <\/strong>the strawberries, plant milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt until the berries are finely blended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Mix <\/strong>the oats and chia seeds together in a large bowl. Pour <\/strong>in the strawberry milk and chopped strawberries and stir <\/strong>until well combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Transfer <\/strong>the overnight oats to glass jars or another container of choice and refrigerate <\/strong>for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Serve<\/strong> as desired and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\nCaitlin’s Cooking Tips<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The creamier your plant milk, the better. <\/strong>My go-to choices are cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk. If you want something even more thick and creamy, try coconut milk. If you’re interested in learning how to make the best plant milk at home, check out my Ultimate Nut Milk Guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Use the weighted measurements. <\/strong>It’s pretty difficult to mess up overnight oats, but if you’re looking for the best, fool-proof way to make your oats equally rich and creamy every single time, use a scale. This will ensure your combination of oats and strawberry milk is always the same and you’ll never have too-thick or too-runny overnight oats again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Serving Suggestions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Overnight oats are the perfect make ahead breakfast or meal prep for busy mornings when you need a hearty, healthy breakfast that will keep you full until lunch. I like to keep it simple and serve these Strawberry Overnight Oats cold with additional fresh strawberries, but feel free to add your favorite toppings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try toppings like a drizzle of almond butter, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, strawberry jam, hemp hearts, or an extra dollop of yogurt would all be delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Store Strawberry Overnight Oats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I prefer to store my cold overnight oats in individual serving sizes using things like mason jars, or reusable containers, but feel free to keep your oats stored in one large airtight container and scoop a serving into a serving bowl each morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve personally never tested freezing these strawberry overnight oats – they’re so quick to make fresh, I don’t think freezing them would be worth it or save you any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substitutions and Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Yogurt substitution: <\/strong>If you’re out of yogurt, feel free to replace it with additional non-dairy milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add protein: <\/strong>If you’d like to add a protein boost to your oats, blend 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder, plus an additional 2 tablespoons of plant milk in with the strawberry milk ingredients. Additionally, if the protein powder contains sweetener, omit or reduce the additional maple syrup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Chia seeds substitution: <\/strong>Replace with an equal amount of ground flaxseeds. Flaxseeds absorb liquid in a similar fashion and will thicken your oats into creamy perfection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Recipe FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Can overnight oats be heated?<\/strong><\/strong>
Overnight oats are typically enjoyed cold, but there’s no rule that says you can’t enjoy them warm, if preferred! After refrigerating overnight, feel free to heat your oats through in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Or, make my warm Strawberries & Cream Oatmeal<\/a> instead.<\/p> <\/div>
Are overnight oats gluten-free?<\/strong><\/strong>
Oats can be gluten-free, but they aren’t always. If you are celiac or gluten-intolerant, always purchase gluten-free certified oats and ensure your non-dairy milks and vegan yogurts are gluten-free certified as well. This will ensure there is no cross contamination.<\/p> <\/div>
Can overnight oats go bad?<\/strong><\/strong>
Of course! As with any perishable food, homemade overnight oats can spoil. When stored properly, these strawberry overnight oats will keep for about 5 days. Always use your best judgment and discard any overnight oats that smell sour or are slimy in texture.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
