A fresh and creamy overnight oats recipe combining tangy stewed rhubarb and sweet strawberries for a bright, satisfying breakfast that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90 g)
  • 1 cup fresh rhubarb, chopped (about 130 g)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120 g)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Chop 1 cup of fresh rhubarb into small pieces (about ½-inch). Place in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until softened but still holding shape. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (90 g) of rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), and a pinch of salt. Stir to blend.
  3. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice and ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt. Stir in 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Gently fold in the stewed rhubarb and 1 cup (150 g) chopped fresh strawberries. Try not to mash the fruit too much.
  5. Spoon the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  6. In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a looser texture. Top with extra fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of toasted nuts if desired.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk to adjust consistency. Gently stew rhubarb to keep texture and brightness. Chia seeds add thickness and fiber but are optional. For vegan version, swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. Oats can be blended for a smoother texture. Store leftovers up to 3 days refrigerated or freeze without fresh fruit toppings.
