Overnight oats are easy, nutritious, tasty, and great for busy mornings. This breakfast champion checks all the boxes. Dairy-free overnight oats are creamy and perfect for customizing. We include six yummy flavor combinations to try, so you\u2019ll be jumping out of bed in excitement all week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few different ways to prepare overnight oats, and we\u2019ll give you some options so you can figure out what works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only are they convenient, but they also offer many health benefits. Oats are rich in fiber, keeping you full and satisfied throughout the morning. They\u2019re also full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, promote heart health, and aid in digestion. But our favorite thing about them is that overnight oats can be customized to suit your taste preferences and dietary restrictions, making them a versatile breakfast option for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making overnight oats is incredibly easy and requires just a couple of basic ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oats<\/strong>: Start with rolled oats, which are ideal for soaking overnight and result in a creamy texture. We prefer organic old-fashioned oats. Any brand or variety will do; just make sure they\u2019re not instant or steel-cut. Also, if you or a loved one are gluten-sensitive, purchase oats with certified gluten-free processing. Oats are gluten-free by nature but are typically processed in close proximity to wheat products with high amounts of cross-contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Liquid<\/strong>: We prefer non-dairy milk. Almond milk is one of the most popular non-dairy milks. It\u2019s low in calories and has a creamy texture. Soy or pea milk tend to have high protein content. Coconut milk is extra creamy but higher in calories, and oat milk can be sweeter. You have lots of options, so experiment and see what works for you! You can even use plant based yogurt to max out the creaminess factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You won\u2019t believe how easy these simple dairy-free overnight oats are. You\u2019ll be using a 1:1 oats to liquid ratio<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 part uncooked rolled oats (\u2154 cup is perfect for one serving) That\u2019s it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where customization comes in. When soaking, mix and match the following items<\/strong>. Each item is optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, get crazy with the following ideas for additional mix-ins and toppings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sweetener<\/strong>: We like 100% pure maple syrup and fruit to sweeten our oats. Adjust the amount based on your preference. Other plant based sweetener options are date syrup, coconut sugar, applesauce, or jam. We especially love our Easy Chia Seed Very Berry Jam<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit<\/strong>: This is where the magic happens! We love sliced bananas (or mash them into your oats for extra sweetness throughout), berries, sliced apples or pears, mango chunks, pineapple chunks, and dried fruit. You can mix in fruit before soaking or add as a topping before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuts<\/strong>: Adding chopped nuts and soaking them overnight helps soften the nuts, provides a nice flavor and texture, and packs a serious nutrient punch. We love adding chopped almonds, walnuts, pistachios, macadamias, and pecans before soaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Seeds<\/strong>: Up the omegas with hemp, flax, or chia seeds. Raw sunflower seeds or pepitas are also great options. They can be added before soaking or as toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nut or seed butters<\/strong>: These add a protein boost, as well as creaminess. We love adding peanut butter for a classic nutty flavor. Almond butter has a milder flavor that plays well with others without taking over. Sunflower seed or cashew butter are also nice additions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spices: <\/strong>You\u2019ll see spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom all up in our oats. A dash of salt helps bring flavors together, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Flavorings<\/strong>: Things like pure vanilla or almond extract add so much flavor with just a few drops. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDairy-free overnight oats recipe formula<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
