SUBSTITUTIONS FOR STRAWBERRY OATS
Rolled Oats: I have not tried this recipe with quick cook oats. I think it would work, but they might get soggier quicker. I wouldn’t recommend it. Irish/Steel Cut Oats will not work in this recipe. If you need a Steel Cut Oats recipe, we love this Baked Steel Cut Oats Recipe!
Greek Yogurt: You can substitute with non-dairy yogurt if you’d like.
Can I use normal yogurt for overnight oats? It’s best to use nonfat or full fat greek yogurt in oats. Try to opt for a yogurt that is unflavored and unsweetened.
Milk: You can sub almond milk for any kind of milk (dairy, non dairy milk, oat, rice, etc). Any kind will work!
Protein: If you want to add protein powder, try these Protein Overnight Oats!
Strawberry: You can try other fruit in this recipe! We also have a Berry Overnight Oats, Apple Overnight Oats, or Mango Overnight Oats recipe that’s delicious.
How to Store Strawberry Oats
Storing: These overnight oats will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. It’s best to eat them within 48 hours for freshness.
Freezing: We don’t recommend freezing overnight oats. The oats can get soggy. It’s best to make and enjoy overnight oats fresh.
Reheating: You can reheat this recipe in the microwave or on the stove.
What to Serve with Strawberry Oatmeal:
You can enjoy overnight oats warm or cold. I prefer to enjoy them warm and pop them in the microwave for 1 minute.
You could add in extra toppings like fresh chopped strawberries, vanilla granola, chia seeds, or other nuts/seeds or serve with:
- egg muffin cups if you want a balanced on-the-go meal
- potato crust quiche or sausage egg casserole
Do you eat overnight oats hot or cold? You can eat strawberry overnight oats or hot or cold! I prefer to warm them up in the microwave for about a minute, but they’re delicious cold too!
Strawberry Overnight Oats have 250 calories per serving. You can lower the calories by adding less maple syrup.
