How To Make Overnight Oats

August 29, 2018 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Overnight oats are one of the easiest breakfasts you can whip together. Simply soak the oats overnight and enjoy in the morning. Find a stress-free recipe here plus three of my favorite topping combinations.

Make-ahead meals are a priority in our kitchen.

I learned how to make overnight oats last summer, starting with a basic recipe and working my way through various mix-in ingredients. If you’re looking for a portable breakfast to bring to the office, I definitely recommend adding this to your weekly rotation.

One of the best things about this meal is how versatile it can be.

Overnight oats are an amazing alternative to regular oatmeal, as there’s an endless amount of flavor combinations you can try. Seriously… you never have to eat the exact same breakfast two days in a row ever again. Speaking of regular oatmeal, have you tried my South Carolina Peaches and Cream? This dish is made with quick oats, so it’s ready in roughly 5 or 6 minutes.

How To Make Overnight Oats

Here’s a list of a few of my favorite combinations:

The base ingredients for overnight oatmeal are simply oats and milk. Feel free to substitute with your favorite nut milk for a vegan alternative… or to slightly switch up the flavors.

Triple Berry Almond Butter: This combination is photographed in this post.

  • 1/4 cup Frozen Triple Berry Mix
  • 1 Fresh Banana
  • 1 tbsp. Chia Seeds
  • 1 tsp. Pumpkin Seeds
  • A sprinkle of Sunflower Seeds
  • 2 tbsp. Almond Butter (sub Peanut Butter if you prefer)

Apple Pie: I love this blend as a fall-inspired treat.

  • 1/2 Fresh Apple, sliced
  • 1 tsp. Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp. Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • Dash of Nutmeg

Strawberry Cheesecake: A zesty mix of fresh fruit and cream.

  • 1/4 cup Greek Strawberry Yogurt
  • 5 Fresh Strawberries, sliced
  • 1 tsp. Lemon Zest
  • 1 tbsp. Honey
  • 1 Graham Cracker, crushed

Jess Notes:

A new combo I’m loving is mixing in 1/4 cup of shredded zucchini with the base recipe. It’s a great way to get a serving of veggies in the morning and adds an extra dose of vitamins.
