How do I make these smooth for spoon fed babies?

For a smoother texture (for example, for spoon fed babes who aren't quite in the chunky stage): Blend up the oats and chia seeds in a food processor or blender before stirring them into the milk mixture. You could also use quick or instant oats. You may need to thin the mixture with more milk in the morning. Thaw the berries and blend them up as well. If you're going for this option, you can thaw the berries in the refrigerator overnight and add the blended berries in the morning.

How long do overnight oats last in the refrigerator?

You can leave these overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. That means you can make a big batch all at once for the week ahead if you'd like!

Can these oats be served warm?

Yes! Heat gently in the microwave (30 second intervals) or on the stove (low heat) until you reach the desired temperature. Heating at too high a temperature can cause the dairy to curdle.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter (the kind with just peanuts and salt)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
3/4 cup milk of choice
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a large measuring cup or bowl, whisk the peanut butter, yogurt and milk until well combined.
Stir in the oats and chia seeds.
Divide the berries into two small jars or other containers with lids. If there are larger berries (like strawberries), let them thaw for a little bit and mash them up with a fork.
Divide the oat mixture between the two jars, layering on top of the berries. Add the lids and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
In the morning, give the oats a stir and thin with a little more milk if needed. Serve with an extra drizzle of peanut butter.

Notes

One adult serving / Save a dish: Mix up the peanut butter oat mixture directly in a larger mason jar or other container with a lid and top with the frozen berries instead of dividing between two smaller jars.
For thinner or smoother oats for spoon fed babies who aren't yet ready for a chunkier texture, use quick oats or instant oats, or blend the dry rolled oats and chia seeds in a blender or food processor before mixing, AND thaw the berries and then blend them up. You can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and add them on top in the morning.

Ingredient substitutions:

Use any natural nut butter in place of peanut butter.
You can use regular plain yogurt in place of Greek style yogurt. If you want to keep the thickness, reduce the milk by a couple of tablespoons.
If you only have one kind of frozen berry, use that! I like raspberries or blackberries. Using frozen berries is important because they thaw into a soft, jammy texture. They also tend to taste better because they're frozen right after picking.
The chia seeds help the overnight oats, which is easier for BLW babies to eat. But if you must, you can leave them out (reduce the milk by a couple tablespoons) or swap them for ground flaxseed.
