Overnight Oats with Chia and Berries

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups pasteurized whole milk
  • 1/2 cup plain pasteurized whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1.5 cups fresh or frozen berries

Method & Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla and cinnamon, and stir until there are no dry clumps of chia.

  3. 3

    Prepare the berries. Thaw frozen berries and drain them. For children under 4, flatten blueberries or cut them into quarters, and dice strawberries or raspberries small.

  4. 4

    Divide the oat mixture between 4 small jars or containers and top with the berries.

  5. 5

    Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the oats are soft and the chia seeds have swelled.

  6. 6

    In the morning, stir well. For children under 2, mash with a fork or stir in a little milk for a softer texture.

  7. 7

    Serve cold, or warm for 30 seconds in the microwave, stir, and test the temperature on the inside of your wrist. Serve while your child sits upright and supervised.
