Description

This Berry Cherry Almond Overnight Oats recipe offers a wholesome and delicious breakfast option that requires no cooking. Creamy rolled oats are soaked overnight in almond milk and Greek yogurt, then mixed with mixed berries, cherries, chia seeds, and crunchy sliced almonds for texture. Naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract, this make-ahead meal is perfect for a nutritious, grab-and-go start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Fruit and Nuts

  • 1/4 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1/4 cup pitted cherries, chopped
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix everything evenly.
  2. Add Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in the mixed berries, chopped cherries, and sliced almonds to incorporate them without crushing the fruit.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and become tender.
  4. Stir and Adjust: The next morning, open the container and give the oats a good stir. Add extra almond milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
  5. Serve: Top the overnight oats with additional fresh berries or sliced almonds for extra texture and flavor before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, skip the Greek yogurt or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
  • You can prepare multiple servings in separate jars for quick breakfasts during the week.
  • Feel free to swap almonds for other nuts or seeds based on preference or allergies.
  • Overnight oats can be enjoyed cold or warmed up briefly if desired.
