Vegan Overnight Oats
Description
Vegan Overnight Oats are prepared by soaking rolled oats in plant-based milk with peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to round out flavor. The optional vanilla protein powder increases the nutritional profile and adds subtle sweetness. After mixing, the oats are divided into jars and refrigerated overnight (or at least 2-4 hours) to soften properly. The texture becomes creamy yet retains some chew from the oats.
The nut butter in the oats lends richness and a satisfying mouthfeel, while the chia seeds contribute a slight gel-like thickness and additional nutrition. For serving, fresh fruit toppings such as banana and berries, plus extra peanut butter drizzled on top, provide contrast in texture and flavor. The oats can be enjoyed directly from the jar, making them convenient for on-the-go meals or packed lunches.
A noted tip for presentation is to place a bit of peanut butter at the bottom of the jars before adding the oat mixture, creating a layered peanut butter flavor throughout each bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 ½ cups almond milk or oat milk
- 2 scoops 24 grams vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt if pb is unsalted
- peanut butter banana slices and berries, toppings of choice, drizzle
Instructions
- Combine: Add oats, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and sea salt into a big bowl and stir together. Transfer into two 8 oz mason jars with lids. Place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- Serve: 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 fresh berries and nut butter. You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.
Notes
- Adding a spoonful of peanut butter at the bottom of the jar before the oats enhances flavor layering.
- Overnight soaking softens oats; if short on time, 2-4 hours can suffice but overnight is best.
- Top with fresh fruit and extra peanut butter for varied texture and taste.
