Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s milk, soy, etc.)

Flavor and Creaminess

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

Fruit

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and milk until well combined. This creates the perfect base for your overnight oats.
  2. Add Yogurt and Flavor: Gently fold in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using. Stir to blend everything smoothly, making sure the oats are fully coated.
  3. Incorporate Raspberries: Carefully add the fresh or frozen raspberries, folding them in lightly to distribute the fruity goodness without crushing all the berries.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover your container and place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight. This resting time lets the oats soak up all the flavors and attain a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give your creamy raspberry overnight oats a gentle stir, add any toppings you like such as fresh raspberries, chia seeds, or toasted nuts, and enjoy a delicious breakfast made easy.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best creamy texture; avoid steel-cut or quick oats.
  • Adjust sweetness using honey or maple syrup to balance the tartness of raspberries.
  • For a pretty presentation, layer oats and raspberries in clear jars before chilling.
  • Gently fold raspberries in to maintain their texture and avoid too much color mixing.
  • Can be served cold or slightly warmed depending on your preference.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • If warming, microwave gently for 30-60 seconds, stirring halfway through.
