About This Recipe

Overnight oats are prepared by soaking oats in milk and yogurt until soft and creamy. Berries add natural sweetness and freshness, while chia seeds contribute extra fibre and texture.

🧺

Ingredients

For the Oats

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk or unsweetened fortified plant milk
  • ¼ cup plain unsweetened yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
  • ½ cup mixed berries such as strawberries and blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon honey, optional

Optional Toppings

  • Extra fresh berries
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts
  • 1 teaspoon seeds
  • A small sprinkle of cinnamon

🌿 Healthy Tip

Use plain unsweetened yogurt and let the berries provide most of the sweetness. Add honey only if needed after tasting the oats.

🍳

Method

1
Combine the Base

Add the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds and vanilla to a jar or container.

2
Add the Berries

Stir in half of the berries, lightly crushing a few pieces if you want more berry flavour throughout.

3
Chill Overnight

Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until the oats are soft and creamy.

4
Check the Texture

Stir before serving. Add a small splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.

5
Serve

Top with the remaining berries and any optional nuts or seeds. Add a little honey only if extra sweetness is needed.
