So, grab your apron, and let’s dive into the world of easy overnight oats! Get ready to fuel up and conquer the day like a boss. 

What are Overnight Oats?

If you’re new to the world of overnight oats, let me break it down for you. It’s a hassle-free way of making oatmeal without any cooking involved. Instead of cooking oats on the stovetop or in the microwave, you simply soak raw oats with a liquid like almond milk. This soaking process allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, resulting in a creamy and delicious bowl or jar of “oatmeal” the next morning.

The best part is that you can easily customize your overnight oat base with whatever flavors you like. Add in your favorite mix-ins like fruits, nuts, seeds, or sweeteners to create your own unique flavor combinations. The consistency of overnight oats is similar to a thick porridge or pudding, making it a convenient and satisfying make-ahead breakfast option.

In addition to their deliciousness, eating overnight oats also offer numerous health benefits. Oats are packed with protein, containing 5 grams per serving, which is higher than most grains. They’re also an excellent source of fiber, with 4 grams per serving, helping you feel fuller for longer and aiding in digestion. Plus, oats are nutrient-dense, leaving you feeling more satiated and energized throughout the day. So why not give overnight oats a try? They’re a tasty and nutritious way to start your day!

Ingredients Needed Overnight Oats

To whip up a batch of delicious overnight oats, you’ll need a few key ingredients. While rolled oat and milk are the basic ingredients, I like to add a few extra elements to boost the flavor and nutrition. And with tons of amazing recipes, you can keep oats interesting day after day.

Here are some of the basic building blocks. But check out the recipes below for more detailed ingredient lists.

1. Oats: Go for plain old-fashioned oats, not quick oats or steelcut oats. Rolled oats are perfect for achieving the best consistency.
2. Milk: While you can use water as the liquid, milk adds creaminess and richness. Choose from options like cow’s milk, soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or oat milk.
3. Chia seeds: These tiny powerhouses are packed with nutrition and add a delightful pudding-like texture to the oats.
4. Greek or vegan yogurt: For a tangy flavor and protein boost, consider adding some Greek or vegan yogurt to the mix.
5. Extracts: Enhance the flavors of your overnight oats with a splash of vanilla extract for a touch of sweetness without any added sweeteners. Or try other extracts like almond, coconut, peppermint, or lemon.
6. Sweetener: If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add maple syrup or honey to the mixture to complement the natural flavors of oats. Also try other natural sweeteners.
7. Protein powder: Boost the protein content of your overnight oats by adding your favorite protein powder. Choose a flavor that complements your other ingredients for a delicious and nutritious addition. Also try collagen powder or other dietary boosts.
8. Mix-ins: Fresh fruits, dried fruits, nut butters, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, cocoa powder, espresso powder, granola, chocolate chips, citrus juice and zest, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, or pumpkin spice are all excellent options to customize your overnight oats and make them uniquely yours.

With these simple ingredients, you can create a versatile and delicious base recipe for your overnight oats. Now it’s time to get playful with your favorite toppings and create your own perfect bowl of overnight oats bliss!

Overnight Oats Ratio

Getting that creamy consistency for your overnight oats is all about finding the perfect balance. If you’re building your own recipe from scratch, try starting with an oats base of equal parts oats and milk.

Mix-ins like chia seeds or fruit will all either take away from or add to the liquid, so experiment with your mix-ins and preferred thickness until you get it just right.

How Long Do Overnight Oats Need to Sit?

Patience is key when it comes to perfecting your overnight oats game. The soaking time is crucial for achieving that luscious, creamy texture that we all crave. Generally, overnight oats need to soak for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid and soften to perfection. Most people make up a jar before bed and soak it overnight. And some folks prefer to let them soak for a full 24 hours for an even creamier consistency. It all comes down to personal preference and desired texture. But with only 10 minutes of prep time, you can quickly get a batch in the fridge and forget about it till the next day.

How to Make Oats Overnight and Keep Them Fresh?

A basic recipe can last about a week in the fridge. But you should probably eat overnight oats recipes with fruit within about 3 days.

Mix, Soak, and Enjoy these Recipes:

Whether you’re a fan of the classic combinations or crave unique mix-ins, we’ve got you covered with a few easy overnight oats recipe options and other oat-based breakfast meal prep. From fruity flavors to nutty indulgences, these recipes for overnight oats are perfect for busy mornings.

While overnight oats are the most popular breakfast meal prep, get ready to blow your taste buds away with these super simple make-ahead oatmeal breakfasts for busy mornings.

Instant Pot Fruit-On-The-Bottom Protein Oats Meal Prep

Ingredients for 5 servings

Fruit on Bottom (compote):

• 2 1/2 cups choice of frozen berries (I used frozen strawberries & cherries)
• juice from 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar 
• Raw sugar, honey, or agave as needed (save for final assembly in jars)

Oatmeal (part 1):

• 2 cups raw old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free)
• 3 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or your choice of plant or cow milk)

Oatmeal (part 2):

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons turmeric
• 2 scoops lean vanilla whey protein (OPTIONAL recommended)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or your choice of plant or cow milk)

STEPS

1. Spray the inside of the Instant Pot or pressure cooker with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Add the oats and almond milk. No need to give it a stir, but you can if you want.
3. Set the pressure cooker to HIGH and set the time for 3 minutes. After it finishes the cooking cycle, allow the pressure to naturally release for 15-20 minutes so the oats are pretty creamy.
4. While the oats are cooking, set a carbon steel skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add the ingredients for the fruit compote (berries, lemon juice, and coconut sugar). Stir and bring to a light simmer. 
5. Once the fruit thaws it will be pretty mushy. Use the back of the spatula to gently mash the fruit in the skillet as it cooks. 
6. Reduce the heat and continue cooking until all the fruit has been thawed and mashed, about 5-7 minutes.
7. To the pot of oats, add flaxseed, spices, protein powder, and more almond milk (as needed). Stir the oats and add milk as needed for consistency.
8. Allow both the oats and the fruit compote to cool before adding to meal prep containers. 
9. Evenly divide the fruit compote among the jars, placing it on the bottom. Top it off with oats. For EACH individual serving, you can add a serving of raw sugar, honey, or agave as needed.  
10. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. I would not recommend freezing this oat recipe.

4. While the peaches are cooking, mix the dry ingredients together in a baking dish or dutch oven. 
5. In a separate bowl, mix almond milk, egg and olive oil together. 
6. Add wet ingredients to the baking dish and mix. Fold in the peaches and mix well. If the mixture is too  thick, simply add a tablespoon of almond milk to thin it out. If it is too wet/thin, add a few tablespoons of rolled oats.
7. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the lid (or foil covering) for the final 3-5 minutes of cooking.
8. Allow to cool then evenly divide in meal prep containers.  
9. You can gently warm this up in the microwave each morning, but I advise adding about 1/4 cup of almond milk to the bowl before microwaving.  
10. Enjoy with a serving of Greek yogurt for a boost of protein.

Quarantine Cooking – Homemade Chocolate Granola Cereal with Almond Butter

Ingredients for ~15 servings (1/3 cup per serving)

Oatmeal (dry):

• 4 cups raw gluten-free oats
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate powder (unsweetened)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cacao nibs (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Oatmeal (wet):

• 1/2 cup raw natural almond butter (Subs: your choice of any natural nut butter – just make sure there’s oil – I used crunchy almond butter)

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

STEPS

1. Set oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients until smooth.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well until EVERY oat is covered in the mixture.
5. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Add the oats and spread them out in the pan.
6. Bake for 20-22 minutes total, STIRRING HALFWAY through. This is important to do – remember to take the granola out the oven halfway through and stir it up using a spatula, then spread it back out and continue baking.
7. Once finished baking (and while your house smells amazing!), allow granola to cool outside of the oven.
8. Once the granola has nearly cooled down (after about 10 minutes), sprinkle in the chocolate chips. TIP:  The granola should not be so hot that it immediately melts the chocolate. Touch the granola with your finger before adding the chocolate. If it’s still too warm to the touch, wait to add the chocolate.  
9. Stir the granola with the chocolate chips and then allow everything to cool down to room temperature.  You can also put the granola on a cool baking tray and place it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to help it cool with the chocolate.

11. Enjoy it as cereal or as a parfait.

Pr-Oat-Ein Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients for 8 servings

Oatmeal (dry):

• 2 cups uncooked old-fashioned oats (NOT instant)
• 2 scoops vanilla whey isolate protein (Note: I recommend adding ~50g of flavored protein because it’s usually lightly sweetened and you can use less sugar/honey while still enjoying a sweet flavor)
• 1/4 cup wheat flour (Subs: oat flour, sorghum flour, fine almond flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Oatmeal (wet):

• 1 egg
• 4oz (123g) unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup almond butter (Subs: peanut butter or cashew butter)
• 1 tablespoon raw honey (Note: I used the Manuka honey with 75% bee pollen for the added health benefits but regular raw honey is just fine and more affordable)

Optional (Recommended!) Flavorings:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 dried cherries (or your choice of naturally dried fruit)
• 3 tablespoons dark chocolate (sweetened by Stevia, not sugar, in order to keep sugar calories lower)

STEPS

1. Set oven to 350F.
2. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
3. Mix wet ingredients together in a separate bowl (including vanilla, if using).
4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Toss in any dried fruit or dark chocolate and mix together.
5. Evenly divide the batter using a spoon or scoop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or silicone baking mat, then gently mash down on each circle since the cookies will not rise too much in the oven.
6. Bake for no more than 8 minutes, then allow them to cool on a towel or a cooling rack. They will harden and become chewy as they cool.

Hi-Energy, Homemade Quinoa Granola

Ingredients for ~24 servings (1/4 cup per serving)

Oatmeal (dry):

• 5 cup uncooked rolled oats 
• 1 cup chopped almonds
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup cranberries

Optional Oatmeal Ingredients (dry):

• 1/3 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1/3 cup chopped pistachios
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• 1 tablespoon maca powder

Oatmeal (wet):

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup organic, raw honey

STEPS

1. Set oven to 300F.
2. If you purchased raw, whole nuts, break them into coarse pieces using a mallet (or similar object). You can also try to carefully pulse-blend the nuts in a blender or food processor, just be careful not to pulverize them.
3. In a bowl, dump all of the dry ingredients (including optional ingredients of your choice) and mix together. 
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix. If either the coconut oil or the honey is hard, simply microwave for a few seconds and then add it to the other ingredients.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dump the granola mixture on to it. Spread it out evenly using a spatula and pat it down so that it is packed in tightly.
6. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes at 300F.
7. Once it has finished baking, allow it to cool to about room temperature before breaking it apart.
8. Grab the parchment paper by the ends and the granola should peel off the paper.
9. Store the granola in an airtight container to preserve the freshness. I’ve had granola last for up to 1 month, depending on the type of container. Making granola with fresh ingredients – such as fruit – will reduce the amount of time the granola will stay fresh.
