My Favorite Overnight Oats Recipes

I’m so not a morning person… sometimes when I don’t have any coaching calls scheduled, I’m not even an afternoon person. However, my only child has never been a dry-out-of-the-box-cereal eater so I happily drag my booty out of my bed to make him breakfast every morning.

And then heaven opened up and the angels blessed me with… Overnight Oats!

Once or twice a week, I prepare these babies before bedtime and let them work their magic. The next morning, my boy simply opens the fridge and is welcomed by a beautiful jar filled with nutritious deliciousness! I don’t even have to open my eyes!

I’ve tried several recipes with a variety of mix-ins, but these are my favorites… Chocolate Peanut Butter, Banana Chocolate Chip, Strawberry Cheesecake (« OMG MY MOST FAVORITEST!!!), and Apple Cinnamon. Yu—mmmmmmm!!!

All recipes below make either 1 large (standard size mason jar) or 2 smaller servings.

The Basic Ingredients are:

1/3 cup Greek yogurt, plain
1/2 cup rolled oats (heaping)
2/3 cup almond milk (or your milk of choice)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of salt

I’ve bolded extra ingredients for each variation because I find it easier to switch it up between flavors that way. Ok… ready?

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Peanuts and softened peanut butter for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl
  2. Spoon into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. (If making 2 smaller servings, divide between 2 small jars)
  3. Close jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight)
  4. Enjoy!
