Strawberries & Cream Overnight Oats

These Strawberries & Cream Overnight Oats are chock-full of classic strawberries-and-cream flavor! From the whipped cream on top to the layers of creamy oats and sweet strawberries, it’s like having dessert for breakfast in the best way possible. If strawberries aren’t at their peak, feel free to swap in raspberries, blueberries or blackberries instead.

Ingredients

1¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1¼ cups whole milk
¾ cup whole-milk plain strained (greek-style) yogurt, divided
6 teaspoons honey, divided
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 cups chopped fresh strawberries (about 12 ounces)

Directions

Combine 1¾ cups oats, 1¼ cups milk, ½ cup yogurt, 4 teaspoons honey, 1 tablespoon flaxseed and 1½ teaspoons vanilla in a large bowl; stir well. Cover and refrigerate until the oatmeal has thickened, at least 8 hours.
Combine 2 tablespoons cream and the remaining ¼ cup yogurt in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons honey and ½ teaspoon vanilla; beat until just combined, about 15 seconds.
Place 2 cups chopped strawberries in a medium bowl; lightly mash with a fork or potato masher until crushed to a jammy consistency.
Spoon ¼ cup oat mixture into each of 4 (8-ounce) jars; spoon crushed strawberries over the oat mixture in each jar (about ⅓ cup each). Top with another ¼ cup oat mixture. Top each with about 2 tablespoons whipped yogurt mixture.
