A quick and easy overnight oats recipe layered with fresh blueberries, strawberries, and banana for a colorful, nutritious, and delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of cinnamon
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 small fresh banana, sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir well to distribute dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Add 1 cup milk and ½ cup Greek yogurt to the bowl. Stir thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if mixture is too thick.
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup over the mixture and stir to combine. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Layer half the blueberries and strawberries at the bottom of a jar or container. Spoon half of the oat mixture over the berries, then add remaining berries on top, finishing with the rest of the oats.
  5. Top with freshly sliced banana just before sealing the jar.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to let oats soak and flavors meld.
  7. In the morning, gently stir the oats to combine layers. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Serve cold or warmed if preferred.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats as they get mushy. Layer berries to keep them fresh and prevent sogginess. Stir once halfway through soaking for creamier oats. Store in fridge up to 4 days. Reheat with splash of milk if desired.
