Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup 2 % milk
2 tbsp strawberry jam
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
fresh, sliced strawberries (optional) for topping

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a small jar, add all of the ingredients. Stir together until evenly combined. Seal the jar with a lid.
Refrigerate the strawberries and cream overnight oats for at least two hours, or overnight.
When ready to eat, remove the jar from the fridge. Stir well. Add a few sliced strawberries and dig right in. Or you can transfer to a bowl, heat it, and enjoy it warm.

Notes

I suggest using 2 % milk, because of its consistency but you can use any milk you choose. Oats not creamy enough for you? Stir in a bit more milk before digging in.
Want sweeter oats? Don't add sugar, instead add an extra dollop of strawberry jam to your oats, and stir it in just before eating.
Also, if you like to control your ingredients more and cut down on added sugar, you don’t have to use vanilla flavored yogurt. You could also sub plain yogurt and use your favorite vanilla flavoring. Similarly, you can use sugar free jam if preferred.
This recipe is also written for one full serving, but don’t let that stop you. I regularly double, triple, or even quadruple it to feed my hungry crew. How often is that an easy feat?
