Ingredients

Base Recipe

  • 1.5 teaspoon Chia Seeds
  • ⅓ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk Vanilla or plain is fine
  • ¼ cup Vanilla Greek Style Yogurt Dairy-free if desired
  • ¼ cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats

Almond Blueberry Maple

  • ¼ cup Blueberries Fresh or Frozen
  • 1 tablespoon 100% Maple Syrup

Apple Cinnamon

  • ¼ cup Diced Apples
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Almond Joy

  • ¼ cup Unsweetened, shredded coconut
  • 2 teaspoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon mini-chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon Sliced Almonds

Chocolate Strawberry & Banana

  • 2 teaspoon Chocolate Milk Powder
  • 1 Strawberry, Sliced
  • ¼ cup Banana, Sliced

Instructions

  • This recipe makes a single serving of 1 cup. To fill a standard 16-oz mason jar, double the recipe.
  • Place all ingredients from the base recipe into a glass container and stir until well combined. Add the appropriate sweetener and flavorings (like peanut butter or cinnamon) for the recipe. You can choose to mix in the fruit now or top individual servings in the morning.
  • Cover the glass container with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Uncover and enjoy or garnish with desired toppings. See more flavor/topping suggestions in the blog post above!
  • Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, athough I find them best eaten within the first 24 hours. Not freezer friendly.

Notes

Storage: Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days. However, I find it best within the first 24 hours. Excellent for meal prep.
Substitutes: I cannot guarantee all possible variations and brands as I have not tested them all. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • Milk : Use Regular Milk, Coconut Milk, or Soy Milk
  • Dairy-Free: There are a few non-dairy substitutes that I have tested and work well including Silk Dairy Free Greek Style and Stonyfield farms. If you use a non-greek style yogurt, reduce the almond milk by 1 Tablespoon. 
  • Vegan: Use plant-based yogurt, and maple syrup for sweetener
  • Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats
  • Sugar-free: Omit the sweetener or used pureed fruit or sugar free jam in the base recipe
