Breakfast has taken on a whole new meaning now that we’re fully immersed in another semester of e-learning at my house. Without the chaos of school drop-off, I found that I have a little extra time in the morning to get somewhat creative with breakfast. 

In the past, my kids started school so early, it seemed like we were always on the run, so breakfasts had to be quick and easy. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a nice, quick and easy recipe, but every once and a while I like to whip up something extra special for my family.

Enter strawberries and cream overnight oats…

I’ve been on a real acai bowl kick for most of 2020 and overnight oats quickly became one of my favorite ingredients to include when I ordered said acai bowls.

That got me to thinking…If I love overnight oats so much why don’t I make them at home? It turns out making overnight oats is easier than I thought it would be! 

Here’s everything you need to make my favorite strawberries and cream overnight oats…You will find the exact measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of this post!

Tips for the Best Batch of Overnight Oats

Remember one thing when making overnight oats, consistency is key. If you’re at all sensitive to texture like I am, you know exactly what type of consistency you like your oatmeal to have. Some of us like it a little soupy, some of us like it slightly sticky.

You can play around with overnight oats just like you can with oatmeal. I for instance, like my oatmeal on the soupy side, so I add extra milk to achieve that.

The same principle can be applied to this strawberries and cream overnight oats. Just add extra water until you reach the consistency you desire!
