Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats taste like a delightful strawberry treat but are actually quite healthy. This easy no-cook recipe is a favorite simple breakfast for kids (and adults).
My kids love oatmeal as a simple breakfast in the morning, but sometimes they get tired of the same old cooked oatmeal with frozen fruit as a healthier topping.
So I came up with this fun Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats recipe as a fun alternative. This easy breakfast is layered with oats, a little strawberry jam, vanilla yogurt, and juicy strawberries (fresh or frozen.)
Best of all, Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats is so easy to prepare, my kids can make it themselves!
I give them each a glass mason jar and they carefully spoon or drop the different layers into their jar for their own Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats. There’s no cooking required, making it super simple the next morning when you just pull the oats from the fridge and dig in!
How to Make Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats
You’ll need for 1 serving:
1/2 cup gluten-free oats
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 Tbsp strawberry jam
¼ cup vanilla yogurt (use vanilla coconut-yogurt for dairy-free)
3-4 fresh strawberries, sliced
Begin by adding the oats to a small mason jar.
Stir in the almond milk.
Swirl in the strawberry jam.
Then add half of the yogurt and half of the sliced strawberries. Layer one more time with the strawberries and yogurt.
Cover. You can use plastic wrap or a mason jar lid.
Refrigerate overnight. The next morning, you can eat your Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats cold without any heating!
It’s a great easy breakfast for a hot summer day…or any day you don’t have time to cook!

I’m personally trying to keep processed sugar to a minimum…. have you tried this without the jam? Will it change the consistency and outcome, or just the flavor? Thank you!

Hi Casie, you can definitely leave out the jam. I also prefer less sugar and have made this recipe several times without the jam and it’s delicious. Enjoy!
