Ingredients
Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 Tablespoons almond butter
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
- 2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Fruit
- 6-7 medium strawberries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
Cream Topping
- 1 Tablespoon white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Mix base ingredients: Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, almond butter, milk, maple syrup, and 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt in two separate jars, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Add strawberries: Slice the strawberries thinly and gently fold them into the oat mixture in each jar to incorporate the fresh fruit flavor.
- Melt white chocolate and coconut oil: Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30-45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds to ensure the mixture melts evenly without burning.
- Whisk in yogurt: Slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt to the melted white chocolate mixture, whisking continuously until the cream is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Assemble cream topping: Spoon and spread this white chocolate cream over the top of the oat jars, smoothing it out to create a rich, creamy layer.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover each jar with a lid and place them in the refrigerator to chill and soak overnight, allowing the oats to soften and flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, remove the lids and enjoy your creamy, flavorful strawberries and cream overnight oats directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
- Use almond milk or any milk alternative to keep the recipe dairy-free if preferred, but be aware it may slightly alter the creaminess.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup according to your desired sweetness level.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt.
- Ensure to microwave the white chocolate and coconut oil carefully to avoid burning the chocolate.
- These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for convenience.
