Servings: 3 jars
Calories: 247kcal
Equipment
- 3 wide mouth, 8oz mason jars
- 1 high speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-Fashioned oats
- 1 cup frozen strawberries *about 8-9 strawberries
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- ½ cup plant-based, unsweetened vanilla yogurt *the thicker, the better
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup *do 4 TBSN if you like sweeter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
Optional:
- 4-6 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced *to press around the glass jars/or use as a topping
Instructions
- Step one is optional but cute. Thinly slice 4-5 fresh strawberries and firmly press them in a circle around the inside of each mason jar. *The thinner the better they stick.
- Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend for about 1 minute or until everything is smooth and creamy. This includes oats, strawberries, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, and salt.
- Pour the creamy mixture evenly into three 8-ounce mason jars.
- Cover the mason jars with lids and chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours to thicken. Optionally add homemade granola on top for an extra crunchy texture!
Notes
Storage:
Place lids over the jars and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
Tips and Modifications:
For the creamiest texture, use a thick vegan yogurt and fully blend the mixture before pouring it into jars. This gives the oats a smooth, strawberries-and-cream consistency instead of a chunky oat texture.
Let the jars chill at least 6 hours, but overnight is best. The chia seeds and oats need time to fully thicken and create that pudding-like texture.
If you like sweeter overnight oats, add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup.
I highly recommend topping the overnight oats with granola!
