This Strawberry Overnight Oats recipe is like enjoying chocolate-covered strawberries but in the form of overnight oats!
This strawberry overnight oats is the perfect summer breakfast made using sweet fresh strawberries like the strawberry and cream bites or strawberry muffins.
My favorite part? It tastes like chocolate covered strawberries but much so healthier!
I enjoy creating inventive overnight oats recipes, such as the chocolate cherry overnight oats, which tastes like a black forest cake.

Ingredients
Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.
- Oats - As in most recipes using oats, choose old fashioned or rolled oats for the best texture. Steel cut oats require more time to soften and more liquid, and they may not be as soft as rolled oats. Instant oats dissolve quickly, resulting in a mushy consistency.
- Milk - I prefer full-fat or reduced-fat milk, but feel free to use non-dairy alternatives like almond or cashew milk. Avoid coconut milk as it may change the intended flavor of the chocolate-covered strawberries.
- Sweetener - Use your favorite sweetner such as maple syrup, honey or white sugar.
- Yogurt - Greek or plain yogurt makes the strawberry overnight oats recipe thick, creamy and adds protein.
- Chia Seeds - As in the mango overnight oats, chia seeds swells up and naturally thickens it.
- Cocoa powder - As with all cocoa powder recipes, use dutch process cocoa powder.
How to make?
You can find full printable recipe below, but here is a quick overview of the procedure along with step-by-step photos.
Storage instructions
For optimal freshness, it's recommended to enjoy overnight oats with fruits within a day or two, compared to oats made without fruits.
To serve, top the strawberry overnight oats with more chopped strawberries, mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate shavings and enjoy!
Helpful tips
- Use rolled or old fashioned oats. Instant oats will turn mushy.
- Use gluten free oats to make it gluten free strawberry overnight oats.
