Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and healthy overnight oats parfait layered with fresh berries and creamy yogurt, perfect for a nutritious breakfast for two.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk, any kind
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 to 1½ cups (150-225g) fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup toasted nuts or granola (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds (if using), and vanilla extract. Whisk gently until evenly incorporated; mixture should be thick but pourable.
  2. Rinse fresh mixed berries under cold water and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Using two 12 oz (350 ml) jars or glasses, spoon a few tablespoons of the oat mixture at the bottom of each jar. Add a layer of berries on top, then repeat layers until jars are nearly full, finishing with a layer of berries.
  4. Seal jars with lids or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soften.
  5. Before serving, stir the parfait if desired and sprinkle with toasted nuts or granola for added crunch. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Adjust sweetness to taste. Add crunchy toppings like nuts or granola just before serving to keep texture crisp. Can substitute dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk for a dairy-free version. Stir in a splash of milk in the morning if oats are too thick.
