Equipment

  • 1 jar or container with lid (at least 12 oz/360mL in size)

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (I prefer 2% for a creamier texture but any type will work)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ⅓ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (large flake)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (or chia seeds)
  • ½ cup berries (I use a frozen blend, but fresh works too)
  • 2 tablespoon pecans (or try cashews or almonds)

Instructions

  • Add the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract and sea salt to your storage container and stir well until fully combined.
    ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt, 2 teaspoon lemon juice
    Yogurt, honey and lemon juice mixed together in a jar.
  • Stir in the rolled oats and flaxseeds until evenly mixed.

    Oats and seeds added to a jar.
  • Add the berries on top of the oat mixture (it's okay if they are frozen- they will thaw and the juices will seep into the oats overnight).

  • Let the oatmeal sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for optimal texture.
  • OPTIONAL: If using raw pecans, preheat the oven to 350 °F. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly then chop roughly, package into a container and store at room temperature.
    Don't add the pecans to the oatmeal until you are ready to eat as they will get soggy overnight (and we want them to mimic the crisp crust).

  • That's it! In the morning, top with the roasted pecans and enjoy a filling breakfast all ready for your busy day.
