Method
- Make the overnight oats. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. Making sure to stir well so all the oats are submerged in the liquid. Transfer to your storage container.
- Let rest and customize. Let the oats rest at least 5 hours, though overnight is best. Add any additional toppings to customize and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitutions & Variations
- To make these overnight oats gluten free, make sure you are using certified gluten free oats. Some of my favorite brands are Zego Oats or the Rolled Oats from Trader Joe’s.
- Toppings: Toppings are the total best part about oatmeal recipes. Add things like chopped walnuts or hazelnuts, or even pumpkin seeds if you are allergic to nuts. Try some homemade granola on top as well! Sprinkle in some mini chocolate chips or add other types of fruit like freshly chopped bananas or mango.
- Add in Cocoa Powder: Add in 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the oats and let them rest overnight for a chocolate variation!
- Add Extra Protein: Add in a tablespoon scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein boost in the morning! Just make sure to add more plant milk as well, probably an extra 3 tablespoons.
- How to Store
- Meal Prep: To make enough overnight oats for the whole week, you can easily scale up this recipe and make either a big batch in a single container or make 5 individual glasses. Up to you!
- Freezer: You can totally freeze overnight oats! Make up a big batch of the oats and plant milk and freeze them into individual containers for up to a month in advance. Remove them from the freezer and pop them into the fridge the night before you want to enjoy them.
