Layered oats with fresh strawberries, chia seeds, and crunchy granola for a nutritious start.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or plant-based
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Fruit

07 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

→ Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup granola
09 - Additional sliced strawberries, optional

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 - Gently fold in the sliced strawberries into the oat mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and reach the desired soft, creamy consistency.
04 - In the morning, stir the overnight oats thoroughly. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
05 - Divide the overnight oats evenly between two bowls or serving jars.
06 - Top each serving with 1/4 cup granola and additional fresh strawberries if desired. Serve immediately.
