Print Recipe

A quick and easy overnight oats parfait layered with creamy Greek yogurt, rolled oats, fresh berries, and crunchy nuts. Perfect for meal prep and a healthy, satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or dairy-free milk (almond or oat milk works well)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds if using. Stir well until evenly mixed and creamy but thick enough to hold its shape (about 3 minutes).
  2. Spoon a few tablespoons of the oat mixture into the bottom of mason jars or containers. Add a layer of fresh berries (about 2 tablespoons / 30 g), then another layer of the oat mixture. Repeat until jars are filled, leaving some room at the top.
  3. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts and lemon zest if desired to keep the crunch fresh and brighten flavors.
  4. Seal jars tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  5. In the morning, gently stir the parfait if you prefer a uniform texture or leave layers intact for presentation. Add extra honey or fresh berries on top if desired before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or quick oats to prevent mushiness. Add nuts and fresh fruit toppings just before serving to keep crunch. Adjust milk and chia seeds to achieve desired consistency. Store parfaits in airtight containers in the fridge up to 4 days. Avoid freezing to maintain yogurt texture.
