Chef's Note
For the best texture, use traditional rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel-cut oats. The mixture will thicken considerably overnight, so don't worry if it seems too liquid when you first prepare it. You can customize this recipe based on whatever fruits are in season - apples and pears work wonderfully in fall, while berries shine in summer.

Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
3 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, hemp)
2 cups seasonal berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
2 cups seasonal stone fruit (peaches, nectarines, plums), diced
1 whole lemon
1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 3 tablespoons chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
- 3
Pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly until well combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.

Prepare the fruit by washing 2 cups of seasonal berries and dicing 2 cups of stone fruit. Toss the fruit with the juice of half a lemon to prevent browning and enhance flavor.

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1/2 cup of mixed seeds for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- 6
When ready to serve, stir the overnight oats mixture as it will have thickened considerably.

Divide the oats among four serving bowls. Top each portion with the prepared seasonal fruit.
- 8
Sprinkle each bowl with the toasted seed mixture and 1 tablespoon of toasted coconut flakes.

Drizzle with additional honey if desired and serve with a wedge of lemon for those who prefer a brighter flavor.
