Ingredients

BASE RECIPE

  • ½ cup Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oats
  • ½ to ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice — use more for a creamier, looser texture
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 Peanut Butter Banana Flavor

  • 1 tablespoon creamy natural peanut butter (plus more for serving; runny works best) 
  • 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana  (plus more banana for serving)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • walnut pieces (optional for serving)

Strawberry Vanilla Flavor

  • 1/4 cup mashed fresh strawberries 
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries, plus more for serving
  • zest of ½ lemon 

Raspberry Chia Flavor

  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (in addition to the base recipe)
  • 1/2 cup mashed fresh raspberries, plus whole raspberries for serving
  • 1 teaspoon honey, plus more for serving

Instructions

Make the Base:

  • Add all base recipe ingredients to a jar or airtight container and stir well to combine.
  • Add your chosen flavor mix-ins and stir once more. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  • Before serving, give it a good stir, add your toppings, and enjoy cold straight from the jar.

 Peanut Butter Banana Serving Note:

  • Add mix-ins to base before refrigerating (either all on top or split between the middle and top of the base).
  • Before serving, top with additional fresh banana slices, extra drizzle of peanut butter, and a few walnut pieces (if desired).

Strawberry Vanilla Note:

  • Add mix-ins to base before refrigerating.
  • Before serving, top with additional strawberries.

Raspberry Chia Note:

  • In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with the back of a fork until broken down and jammy. Stir in the chia seeds and honey until well combined. Set aside (or refrigerate if making ahead). 
  • Prepare your base recipe as directed and pour half into a jar or airtight container. Spoon the raspberry chia jam directly on top of the oats, right in the center, without stirring. Top with the remaining half of your base recipe. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours. 
  • In the morning, dig your spoon down through the chia jam and swirl it into the oats as you eat — or stir everything together for a fully mixed, raspberry-swirled bowl. Top with fresh raspberries and an extra drizzle of honey.
