Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or coconut cream for non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a medium bowl or large mason jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
Step 2: Add Strawberries and Cream
Fold in the diced strawberries and drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the mixture. Gently stir to distribute the strawberries and cream throughout.
Step 3: Refrigerate Overnight
Seal the bowl or jar tightly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 12 hours), to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. Top with extra strawberries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or an extra splash of cream if desired. Dive in and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra sweetness, add an additional teaspoon of honey before serving.
- Chopping strawberries into small, even pieces ensures every bite is fruity.
- If the mixture appears too thick in the morning, stir in a splash more milk.
Variations
- Vegan: Use coconut or almond milk, coconut yogurt, and maple syrup.
- Chocolate: Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and swap strawberries for raspberries.
- Nutty: Stir in 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios or sliced almonds for crunch.
Required Equipment
- Large mason jar or airtight container (16 oz)
- Mixing bowl

Storage Instructions
Store Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving each morning. Not recommended for freezing, as texture changes when thawed.
Suggested Pairings & Serving Ideas

Pro Tips
