A simple, creamy, and protein-packed overnight oats recipe with Greek yogurt and fresh berries, perfect for busy mornings and easy breakfast prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain and full-fat
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (about 75g) fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • Optional toppings: sliced almonds, toasted coconut flakes, or a dollop of nut butter

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (if using), and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well until fully combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  2. Spoon the oat mixture evenly into two 16-ounce (475ml) mason jars or containers. Leave a little room at the top for berries and toppings.
  3. Layer about ½ cup fresh or frozen berries on top of the oat mixture in each jar. Gently press them slightly into the mixture but don’t stir them in yet.
  4. Seal the jars tightly and place them in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  5. The next morning, open the jars and gently stir the oats and berries to combine. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
  6. Add final toppings such as additional fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a drizzle of nut butter if desired. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and add fiber. Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired consistency. Soak oats at least 6 hours or overnight. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Frozen berries thaw overnight and add natural sweetness.
