Ingredients
Strawberry Overnight Oats
8-10 medium ripe strawberries (mashed or blended)
1 cup rolled oats
1 Tablespoon almond butter
1 cup vanilla almond milk
2 Tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Dark Chocolate Topping
2 Tablespoons dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon crumbled freeze dried strawberries
Instructions
1. Prepare the Strawberries: Start by either mashing your ripe strawberries with a fork in a small bowl or giving them a quick pulse in a blender until they are broken down but still have a little texture.
2. Combine the Ingredients: Grab your two jars. Divide the mashed strawberries, rolled oats, almond butter, vanilla almond milk, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt evenly between them.
3. Mix and Chill: Stir the ingredients in each jar until everything is well combined and creamy. Secure the lids and place the jars in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours, but preferably overnight.
4. Create the Magic Shell: In the morning, place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30-45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
5. Top Your Oats: Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled oats, tilting the jar to spread it into a thin, even layer that covers the top.
6. Final Touches: Immediately sprinkle the crumbled freeze-dried strawberries over the wet chocolate.
7. Set and Enjoy: Place the jars back in the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to harden completely. Then, crack it with a spoon and dive in!
Notes
Quick Version: Feel free to skip the chocolate magic shell and just mix in chocolate chips directly, if desired!
Extra Strawberry Flavor: Mix in a teaspoon of crumbled freeze-dried strawberry powder for a more pink color and more intense strawberry flavor.
Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your personal taste based on the sweetness of your berries.
Topping Ideas: Add any toppings that you want – shredded coconut, flaky sea salt, or a peanut butter drizzle are all delicious!
