Ingredients
Oat Base
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp vegan vanilla protein powder (optional) Optional for extra protein
- 1 ½ cups dairy-free milk (like unsweetened soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
- 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup Adjust based on sweetness preference
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
Strawberry Topping
- 1 ¼ cups frozen strawberries Fresh strawberries can be used, but heating is not necessary

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and protein powder (if using). Whisk to combine.
- Stir in dairy-free milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Cover and place in the fridge to thicken for about 2-3 hours.
Cooking Strawberries
- Add the frozen strawberries to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- After two minutes, cut the berries into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Microwave for another 2-3 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds, until the mixture is bubbling and the liquid has reduced by about a quarter.
- Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup if needed. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to assemble.
Assembly
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the thickened oats into a jar. Layer on a spoonful of strawberries and top with more oats. Add a spoonful of dairy-free yogurt on top. Repeat with the remaining oats.
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container. Keep the layers separate until ready to eat for the best texture.
