Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Fruit

Toppings (Optional)
- Chocolate shavings

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the oats are evenly coated and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix until all ingredients are well combined, creating a smooth and thick mixture.
- Layer with Strawberries: In a mason jar or container, layer the oats mixture and diced strawberries. Alternate layers if desired to create a visually appealing presentation.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.

- If you prefer less sweetness, adjust the amount of honey or syrup to taste.
- For extra texture, add nuts or seeds as toppings.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
