  • Total Time: 12 hrs 20 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Overnight Oats Mixture

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons black chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups refrigerated pulp-free orange juice

Cranberry-Orange Compote

  • 2 cups frozen cranberries
  • 2½ tablespoons sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ cup refrigerated pulp-free orange juice

Final Assembly

  • 1 cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the overnight oats: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of orange juice, rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the mixture well to distribute all ingredients evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 12 hours or up to 3 days to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy texture.
  2. Make the cranberry-orange compote: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine frozen cranberries, sugar, ground ginger, and the remaining ½ cup orange juice. Cover the bowl tightly and microwave on High for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Cook until most cranberries burst and the mixture bubbles vigorously. Use the back of a spoon to mash the compote until mostly smooth and slightly thickened. Let it cool uncovered for about 15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.
  3. Mix in the yogurt: Once the oat mixture has soaked, stir in 1 cup of plain Greek-style yogurt until fully combined. This adds creaminess and a tangy flavor to the oats.
  4. Assemble the jars: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cooled cranberry mixture evenly into the bottom of 4 eight-ounce jars. Spread into an even layer. Add about ⅓ cup of the oat mixture over the cranberry layer in each jar. Repeat the layering with the remaining cranberry mixture and oat mixture, finishing each jar with oats on top. Cover the jars and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Use pulp-free orange juice to ensure a smooth texture in the oats and compote.
  • The cranberry compote can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Overnight oats develop best texture after at least 12 hours soaking but can be refrigerated up to 3 days.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying sugar quantity in the compote as desired.
  • These oats can be enjoyed cold straight from the fridge or warmed slightly if preferred.
  • Use jars or containers with lids for easy grab-and-go meal prep.
