Report
Overnight oats are the perfect healthy breakfast to meal prep for busy mornings. Here you'll find my base overnight oats recipe and my favorite variations.

Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk I like unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt or ¼ cup more milk
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey or your preferred sweetener
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- pinch of sea salt
- toppings of choice: fruit nut butter, nuts, seeds, etc.
Chocolate Chip
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Peanut Butter
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
Berry
- ¼ cup fresh berries I like sliced strawberries and blueberries best
- 1 Tablespoon strawberry jam or chia jam
Instructions
- Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and sea salt into a jar or storage container with a lid. Stir ingredients together. Place in the fridge overnight. If you're in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy. You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.
Chocolate Chip
- Stir 1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then sprinkle oats with remaining chocolate chips to serve.
Peanut Butter
- Stir 1/2 Tablespoon of peanut butter into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then drizzle oats with remaining peanut butter to serve.
Berry
- Stir 2 Tablespoons of berries into the overnight oat mixture when prepping and then top layer of jam and remaining fresh berries.
Notes
- Storage: Store your overnight oats in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They will soften more the longer they sit so I find they're best on days 1-3, but they're still safe to eat on days 4 and 5.
