Easy Vegan Oats With Yogurt (No Milk)
Description
This recipe combines rolled oats with plant-based yogurt to yield a creamy overnight-style oatmeal without using milk. The yogurt softens the oats as they sit, quicker than with milk, and the addition of sweetener and vanilla extract rounds out the flavor. The oats can be mixed the night before for a softer result or prepared shortly before eating for a firmer texture. Serving with fresh fruits, nuts, and seeds offers added texture and nutrition.
Although this is a simple preparation, the choice of yogurt impacts creaminess and protein content. The recipe allows customization with homemade or store-bought dairy-free yogurts, including cashew, almond, or tofu-based options, accommodating various dietary preferences. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to two days, though texture will continue to soften with time.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ to 1 cup dairy-free yogurt see Notes for homemade options, plain
- sweetener such as maple syrup, granulated sugars, or sugar-free options, of choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Fruit fresh, for serving
- nut
- seed
Instructions
- Stir the oats and yogurt together in a small bowl or storage container. Add sweetener and extract, if using.
- Yogurt oats can be made the night before, like overnight oats, or mixed not long before serving because yogurt softens oats more quickly than milk. The oats continue to soften the longer it sits. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Non-dairy yogurts can be homemade using nuts or tofu for a creamy base.
- Best consumed within 24 hours, as oats soften more the longer they soak.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 days to maintain texture and freshness.
- Nutrition facts do not include toppings, which can add flavor and nutrients.
