These creamy overnight oats recipes are quick, easy, and perfect for busy mornings, offering nostalgic comfort with simple ingredients and delicious flavors.

Ingredients

  • Rolled oats (old-fashioned recommended)
  • Milk or milk alternative (whole milk, almond milk, oat milk – unsweetened preferred)
  • Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (dairy-free coconut yogurt optional)
  • Sweeteners: maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup (optional)
  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Fruits and toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, nut butters, shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Measure ½ cup (45g) rolled oats and 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds or flaxseeds into a jar or bowl.
  2. Add ½ cup (120ml) milk or milk alternative and ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
  3. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons (5-10ml) maple syrup or honey for sweetness.
  4. Add ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract or spices like cinnamon or cocoa powder according to recipe variation. Stir well until smooth.
  5. Add fruits, nut butters, or nuts now or reserve for topping after soaking.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats and add any additional toppings or a splash of milk if too thick.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Adjust liquid amounts to achieve desired consistency. Add sweetener before soaking but adjust sweetness after soaking if needed. For pudding-like texture, add extra yogurt or reduce milk. Store in fridge up to 4 days. Can be eaten cold or gently warmed.
