# What You Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or unsweetened plant-based
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 teaspoons honey or pure maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
02 - Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the oat mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and achieve a creamy consistency.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of additional milk to reach your desired consistency.
05 - Spoon the overnight oats into bowls or jars. Top with extra strawberries, chopped nuts, and coconut flakes if desired. Serve chilled.
