1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt

Stewart’s Secret

To prevent the strawberries from becoming too soft, macerate them with a tiny splash of lemon juice before stirring them into the oats. The acidity keeps the fruit bright and prevents the texture from breaking down too much overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do these oats keep in the fridge?

They stay fresh for up to 3 days. However, for the best texture and fruit quality, I recommend eating them within 48 hours.

Can I use steel-cut oats instead?

I don't recommend it. Steel-cut oats remain very chewy when soaked. Use traditional rolled or quick oats for a creamy finish.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, provided you purchase certified gluten-free rolled oats.
