Preparing The Ingredients

First, make sure to prep your fruits before mixing. Chop the strawberries and slice the banana. This will help blend the flavors nicely.

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, plant-based milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed.

Then, gently fold in your chopped strawberries and banana.

Once mixed, transfer it to a jar or container. Seal it and place it in the fridge. Let it sit overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the milk and flavors. Enjoy your delicious overnight oats in the morning!

Variations To Try

You can switch up your overnight oats in many ways. Here are some ideas to keep things interesting.

• Try adding different fruits. You could use blueberries, raspberries, or even diced apples. Each fruit brings a new flavor and texture.
• For a crunch, mix in some nuts or seeds. Almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds can add a nice bite. Just sprinkle a little on top before eating.
• Change the milk, too. Instead of almond milk, you might use coconut milk or oat milk. Each type gives a unique taste to your oats.
• You can also play with the sweeteners. If maple syrup isn’t your thing, try agave or a bit of stevia. Just use what you like best.
• Add spices for an extra kick. Cinnamon or vanilla extract can enhance the flavor. Just a dash can make a big difference.
• If you want it creamier, stir in some nut butter. Peanut butter or almond butter can give your oats a rich texture. It’s delicious and filling.

Feel free to experiment with these ideas to make your this your own!

Storage Tips

• Store your strawberry banana overnight oats in the fridge. They taste best when chilled and can last up to five days.
• Use airtight containers for storage. This keeps the oats fresh and prevents them from absorbing other food odors in the fridge.
• If you want to keep your oats from getting too soggy, store the toppings separately. For example, keep extra strawberries and bananas in a small container. Add them right before you eat for the best texture.
• You can also freeze your oats if you need to keep them longer. Just make sure to use freezer-safe containers. They can last about three months in the freezer.
• When you’re ready to eat frozen oats, thaw them in the fridge overnight. You can also warm them in the microwave. Add a splash of plant milk if they seem too thick after thawing.

Keeping things simple helps maintain flavor and freshness. Enjoy your oats anytime!
