Berry chia overnight oats layered with yogurt in a glass jar, topped with fresh berries

Ingredients

Serves

2

  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice

  • ½ cup (125 g) plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 cup (150 g) mixed berries, fresh or frozen

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • A pinch of cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp almond butter, to serve

To serve: fresh berries, a drizzle of almond butter and a few chopped nuts.

Method

  1. Mix the oats, chia seeds, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl.

  2. Warm half of the berries with the maple syrup for 3 minutes and mash lightly to make a quick compote.

  3. Layer the oats, yogurt and compote in two jars.

  4. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.

  5. Top with the remaining berries and almond butter before eating.

Tips & swaps

  • Low-FODMAP: use lactose-free milk and yogurt, and choose strawberries or blueberries.

  • Make ahead: keeps 3 days in the fridge, so make a batch on Sunday.

  • Warm it up: microwave for 1 minute on cold mornings, then add the yogurt.

Why it’s good for your gut

Oats and chia are rich in soluble fiber, which slows digestion and supports a steady release of energy through the morning. Yogurt adds protein and live cultures.
