Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120ml) milk (whole milk or almond milk recommended)
- ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (about 100g) fresh strawberries, chopped
- ½ cup (about 60g) pound cake, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chia seeds and ½ teaspoon lemon zest into the oat mixture and stir again. Let it sit for 5 minutes so chia seeds can start absorbing liquid.
- Gently fold in ¾ cup chopped fresh strawberries, saving a few pieces for topping.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into two mason jars or small lidded containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours, ideally 8-10 hours).
- Just before serving, crumble ½ cup of pound cake into small bite-sized pieces.
- Remove the oats from the fridge, stir gently if needed, then sprinkle the pound cake crumble generously on top along with reserved strawberry pieces.
- If the oats seem too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen to preferred consistency.
Notes
Use rolled oats, not instant, for best texture. Keep pound cake crumble separate until serving to maintain crunch. Can swap strawberries for other berries or peaches. For gluten-free, use gluten-free oats and crumble. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and yogurt. Stir oats gently before refrigerating. Add a splash of milk in the morning if oats are too thick.
