03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

02 - Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the oat mixture using a spatula, being careful to distribute them evenly throughout.

03 - Cover the mixture and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and reach the desired creamy consistency.

04 - In the morning, stir the overnight oats thoroughly. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve your preferred consistency.

05 - Divide the prepared overnight oats evenly between two bowls or jars.

06 - Crown each serving with granola and additional sliced strawberries if desired. Serve immediately.
