Overnight Oats Strawberries Walnuts (Printable Version)

Creamy oats blended with fresh strawberries and crunchy candied walnuts for an energizing breakfast.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Oat Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Strawberries

08 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

→ Candied Walnuts

09 - 1/2 cup walnut halves
10 - 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
11 - 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
12 - Pinch of ground cinnamon
13 - Small pinch of sea salt

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir thoroughly until well combined, cover securely, and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.
02 - Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add walnut halves, maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until walnuts are evenly coated and fragrant. Transfer immediately to parchment paper and allow to cool completely until hardened.
03 - Remove oat mixture from refrigerator and stir thoroughly. Layer oats, fresh sliced strawberries, and candied walnuts in individual jars or bowls. Top with additional berries or a light drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
04 - Serve the assembled bowl chilled and consume immediately for optimal texture and flavor.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's the rare breakfast that tastes indulgent but genuinely nourishes you—no afternoon energy crash.
  • Five minutes of prep at night means mornings feel less rushed, like you've already won something.
  • The candied walnuts make it taste intentional and special, even though they're ridiculously easy to make.
02 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper step for the walnuts—they'll stick to the pan and you'll waste half of them trying to pry them off.
  • If your oats seem too thick in the morning, a splash of cold milk loosens them back up way better than stirring frantically and making them gummy.
03 -
  • Prep your candied walnuts first thing so they have time to cool and crisp up while your oats chill—it's easier than rushing to make them fresh in the morning.
  • If you're meal-prepping for the week, make the oat base in individual jars and just top with berries and walnuts each morning so everything stays fresh and nothing gets soggy.
