🥘 Ingredients
Rolled Oats (Old Fashioned Oats) - In the UK the ones I'm using are jumbo style oats as opposed to porridge oats which are much finer and don't work as well when it comes to overnight oats. My favourite jumbo oats are Flahavan's Organic Jumbo Oats (not sponsored) which you can get quite cheaply in Sainsbury's.
Strawberries - Fresh strawberries work best here and that's what I generally use as once season is over I go back to my homemade granola or once cooler weather is back - to porridge.
You could however, use frozen strawberries if you wanted to. Simply defrost them on a sieve over a bowl to strain excess water and use as you would fresh ones.
Vegan Yogurt - For these overnight oats I love using creamy vegan coconut yogurt (The Coconut Collaborative is my favourite) but you can use any yogurt you like.
Perhaps you fancy trying vegan strawberry yogurt to make that strawberry flavour even more intense. There are couple of brands that do dairy-free strawberry yogurts here in the UK.

🍽 Equipment
All you need here is a simple stick blender to puree the strawberries and a bowl to mix everything in. You could also use food processor or even mash the strawberries with a fork.
Once you've mixed your overnight oats you need a container to store them in the fridge. You could use one of the clip top Kilner style jars or one of the glass containers with clip on lids I'm using.
💭 Top Tips
- As I work from home, I keep my overnight oats in a single container and in the morning simply take out rough portion into a bowl and choose the toppings and mix-ins I fancy that day. However, if you need brekkie on the go you can divide your oats into separate jars/containers and choose your toppings in advance so that in the morning all you do is grab and go!
- This recipe makes 3 portions but you might find it's actually 2 for you. Feel free to double the recipe to make enough portions to last you throughout the working week.
- This particular recipe gives you creamy yet quite thick oats. If you'd prefer them thinner simply mix in your favourite plant based milk when serving.

🥡 Storing & Freezing
Strawberry Overnight Oats will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days hence they're perfect for meal prep and breakfast during the week.
Not suitable for freezing.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
There are so many fabulous toppings you can use from different berries, nuts, seeds, tropical fruits (mango, papaya, pineapple, banana), your favourite dried fruits etc.
I also always like to ensure that I get as many nutritional boxes checked as possible and add some chia seeds, ground flaxseed also known as ground linseed or flaxseed meal, shelled hemp seeds, goji berries and my favourite dried mulberries.
As overnight oats are quite soft in texture, sometimes I sprinkle my favourite homemade granola for a bit of crunch and nice contrasting texture.
If you need added sweetness try drizzling some maple syrup on top. Agave nectar and date syrup work really well too! Oh and don't forget your favourite nut butter! I love a drizzle of almond butter on mine

❓FAQs
What is the difference between Overnight Oats and Bircher Muesli?
They are pretty much the same thing and refer to oats that have been soaked in either juice, milk, yogurt or mixture of the above. In my strawberry overnight oats I've opted for strawberry puree and coconut yogurt.
What type of oats are best for overnight oats?
Rolled (Old-Fashioned, Jumbo) oats are the best as they will not turn into a complete mush as porridge or quick oats would but will keep a little bit of texture.
Are overnight oats gluten-free?
They are if you use certified gluten-free oats.
Can I use frozen strawberries in my overnight oats?
Out of season you can definitely sub fresh strawberries with frozen ones. Simply defrost them on a sieve over a bowl and use as you would fresh ones.

Notes
- Nutritional information is approximate, per serving (based on 3 servings without any toppings) and should be treated as a rough guideline only.

- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing not recommended.

This is one of my fave breakfasts, but I need to get myself back into the right zone of being organised enough to get them ready the night before! I love your little touch of sprinkling granola on top for some crunch too. Thanks for entering your recipe into the summer round of Simple and in Season.

Do the strawberries have to be blended, by the way? Or can they just be chopped up?
joskitchenlarder says
I would blend them as puree is what I used as a liquid in this recipe for the oats to soak up. Alternatively, mash them up in a bowl with a fork and then mix all the mashed up strawberries (and the juice) with your oats. Hope that helps. x

I have never tried overnight oats but I've been meaning to! Thanks for the recipe. Beautiful photography by the way, what sort of camera do you have? #brillblogposts
joskitchenlarder says
Aww, thanks very much! You have made my day with this comment 🙂 I'm so happy you like the photos. I have just started using Canon EOS 1300 and still playing around with it. x
Galina V says
Beautiful breakfast, summery and colourful. I confess I'm not the biggest fan of overnight oats, I still prefer them cooked, I mostly eat them for health reasons.
joskitchenlarder says
Thank you! 🙂 If I were to choose between the two it would be porridge for me too. You cannot beat overnight oats for convenience though plus I do like the taste especially when 'injected' with lots of fruit. x
Chloe says
Hi, I love overnight oats and strawberries so I will be trying this #brilliantblogposts

Thank you lovely! Hope you like it! x
Jacqui says
Thank you for linking up to #CookBlogShare. I am more of a porridge girl too even in the summer but i do occasionally eat overnights ats. Love this variation and the idea of a few crunchy pats on top I shall be trying this one!
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Jacqui! Nothing will beat good, old porridge but these strawberry oats make nice little change and require no hassle in the morning. Taste good too! 🙂 I hope you like these.
Corina says
I resisted trying overnight oats for a long time too! I also thought I wouldn't like them and was pleasantly surprised when I did, and realised what I'd been missing out on too! Thanks so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Corina! It was nice to add something else to my breakfast repertoire, that's for sure and I love these! x
Michelle Frank | Flipped-Out Food says
Your post spoke to the exact reason that I haven't yet tried overnight oats. I love your idea of using granola to round out the texture a bit. This really sounds delicious: you've inspired me to give overnight oats a try!
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks so much Michelle! Really pleased to hear that 🙂 Granola is definitely a great little crunchy topping for this quick brekkie! I think you might be just like myself, once you've tried overnight oats there will be no way back 😉
