# What You'll Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup whole milk or unsweetened plant-based milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Fruit
08 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
→ Toppings (optional)
09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional)
10 - Additional diced strawberries, as desired
11 - Drizzle of honey or maple syrup, as desired
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl or a large jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; stir until uniformly hydrated and the sweetener is dissolved.
02 - Gently fold the diced strawberries into the oat mixture to distribute fruit without breaking the pieces.
03 - Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia to absorb liquid and soften.
04 - In the morning, stir the chilled mixture; add a splash of milk if a looser texture is preferred and adjust sweetness to taste.
05 - Divide into two serving vessels and finish with sliced almonds, extra strawberries, and a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
