Equipment

  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • high-speed blender
  • large container with lid or individual serving containers with lids

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned (rolled) oats
  • 1 heaping cup fresh strawberries (see Ingredient Note), stems removed and diced
  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk or other unsweetened plant milk
  • ¼ cup unsweetened plain vegan yogurt (I used Forager Organic Unsweetened Plain Cashew & Coconut Yogurt Alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1½ to 2 tablespoons maple syrup to taste
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Toppings

  • crushed graham crackers
  • fresh strawberries diced

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats, 1 cup of strawberries, soy milk, yogurt, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, 1½ tablespoons of maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and add additional maple syrup if desired.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large container or individual serving containers. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, top individual servings with crushed graham crackers and fresh strawberries. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • Store toppings separately until ready to serve. Doing so will keep the graham crackers from getting soggy. 
  • Store strawberry overnight oats in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
