Overnight Oats

Priya Lane’s Sunrise & Crumb take on overnight oats is all about easy, dependable mornings. Rolled oats soak up a silky mix of 2% milk and plain Greek yogurt so the texture is spoonable but still substantial, while a touch of maple syrup, vanilla and ground cinnamon gives each bite a warm, familiar sweetness and aromatic lift.

Chia seeds quietly thicken the jars overnight, creating a custardy body that holds the berries in place without getting gummy. Folding half the mixed berries through the oat base distributes juicy pops of blueberry, strawberry and raspberry throughout the jars; reserve the rest for a bright topping that keeps the color and texture fresh. A pinch of salt sharpens the flavors and sliced almonds add a welcome crunch against the creamy oats.

This recipe is built for make-ahead mornings—whisk the milk, yogurt and flavorings, stir in oats and chia, mix in the fruit, then portion into four 12–16 oz jars, leaving a half-inch of headspace. No cooking required, 15 minutes prep, and they’re fridge-ready so you can grab-and-go for breakfast, pack them for brunch, or stash in lunchboxes for an easy daytime meal.

To vary the finish, add a drizzle of extra maple, a spoonful of nut butter, or a sprinkle of granola right before eating to preserve the crunch. These jars are about simple routines that taste like a small, satisfying treat—bright berries, creamy oats, and nutty snap that make waking up a little easier.
